The Pattern 10 Fen coin was designed by the Central Mint of China in 1936, and it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western elements. On one side, it has the Chinese characters "大中華民國" (Great Republic of China) and "十分" (10 Fen), while on the other side, it has the image of a pagoda, which is a traditional Chinese building, surrounded by a wreath of wheat and cotton, symbolizing agriculture and industry. This coin was minted during a time of great change in China, as the country was transitioning from a imperial dynasty to a republic, and it represents a blend of traditional Chinese culture and modern influences.
