Interesting fact

The Temple of Heaven coin design was originally intended to be used on a 100 yuan coin, but it was later changed to a 50 yuan coin. As a result, the 100 yuan coin with the Temple of Heaven design was never officially released and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
