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 "中華民國" (Zhōnghuá Mínguó) meaning "Republic of China," while on the other side, it has the number "10" in both Chinese and English, surrounded by a wreath of wheat and a Chinese dragon. This blend of East and West reflects the complex history and cultural influences of China during that time.
