Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Fen 5 Li - Guangxu (Dragon without mountains) ND (1906) coin from Sinkiang Province made of Copper is that it features a unique design element - a dragon without mountains. This design was specifically created to avoid offending the Muslim population in Sinkiang Province, who believed that depicting mountains alongside the dragon would be disrespectful to their religious beliefs. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was designed with cultural sensitivity and religious considerations in mind.
