Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Fen 5 Li - Guangxu (Dragon with mountains) ND (1906) coin from Sinkiang Province made of Copper is that it features a unique dragon design on the obverse side, which is different from the traditional Chinese dragon depictions. The dragon on this coin has a more stylized and modernized appearance, with a curved body and a pair of wings, giving it a dynamic and powerful look. This design was created by the Chinese government to promote the use of coins as a medium of exchange and to showcase the country's rich cultural heritage.
