Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 20 Cash (Urumchi; type 2) 7 (1930) from Sinkiang Province made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Soviet influences in its design. The coin's obverse features the Chinese characters for "20 cash" and "Urumchi," while the reverse features a stylized image of a wheat ear and a Soviet-style star, reflecting the coin's issuance during the period of Soviet influence in Xinjiang. This blend of design elements makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
