Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Fen coin from Taiwan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver (.820) weighing 1.30 g is that it was minted during the Guangxu period (1893-1894) and features a unique blend of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin features the Chinese character "中" (zhōng) meaning "center" or "middle," while the reverse side features a stylized image of a plum blossom, which is a symbol of longevity and good fortune in Chinese culture. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Taiwan and Chinese currency.
