Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Fen (Chi Tung Bank) 26 (1937) coin from East Hebei (Japanese puppet states in China) is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Japanese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a traditional Chinese dragon, while the reverse side features the Japanese kanji characters for "Chi Tung Bank" and the year 26 (1937). This blending of cultural symbols reflects the complex history of the region during the Japanese occupation of China during World War II.
