Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, but it was actually minted and issued by Niue, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean. This is an example of a "legal tender" agreement, where a country or territory allows another country or organization to issue coins or currency with their own designs and denominations, but with the backing and guarantee of the issuing country's government. This practice is not uncommon, especially among small island nations, as it allows them to generate revenue and attract collectors and investors.
