Interesting fact

The 3 Yuan (25th Anniversary of Panda Coinage) 2007 coin from the People's Republic of China is unique in that it features a rare inverted portrait of the Giant Panda, with the panda's head facing downwards, unlike the traditional design where the panda's head faces upwards. This design change was implemented to symbolize the change in the Chinese lunar calendar, where the panda's year changes from the 12th year to the 1st year. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists and panda coin enthusiasts.
