Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great change and turmoil in China, as the country was transitioning from the Qing dynasty to the Republic. The coin's design reflects this change, as it features a blend of traditional Chinese imagery, such as the dragon, and modern elements, such as the numeral "3" in the center. This coin is a unique representation of the cultural and historical significance of China during this time period.
