The 20 Fen coin from the Republic of China (1936-1939) was designed by the famous Chinese artist, Xu Beihong.

The design of the coin features a stylized portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China, on the obverse, and a depiction of the Chinese dragon on the reverse. The use of nickel in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to symbolize the country's industrialization and modernization efforts during that time.
