Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great turmoil in China, when the country was under Japanese occupation. The Provisional Government of the Republic of China was established by the Japanese in 1940, and it issued its own currency, including this 5 Fen coin. Despite the difficult circumstances, the coin still features a striking design, including a stylized dragon on one side and the Chinese characters for "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" on the other. This coin serves as a reminder of the complex history of China during World War II and the resilience of its people during times of conflict.
