Interesting fact

The Journey to the West coin series, which this 10 Yuan coin is a part of, was issued by the People's Bank of China in 2005 to commemorate the classic Chinese novel of the same name. The novel, also known as "Monkey," is a 16th-century Chinese literary work that tells the story of a monk named Tang Sanzang and his journey to India to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. The coin's design features an image of the Monkey King, a main character in the novel, and is made of .999 silver, making it a unique and valuable collector's item.
