Comment
Bar, 55x36mmInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Dunhuang Grottoes, a network of Buddhist cave temples in China that date back to the 4th century. The grottoes are famous for their well-preserved Buddhist art and sculptures, and the coin's design features an image of one of the grottoes' famous "Dunhuang Diamond Sutra," the world's oldest printed book.
