One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Fen (Meng Chiang Bank) 738 (1943) from Meng Chiang (Japanese puppet states in China) made of Aluminium is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Japanese design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Chinese dragon, while the reverse side features the Japanese kanji characters for "Meng Chiang Bank." This blending of design elements reflects the complex history of the Meng Chiang puppet state, which was established by Japan during World War II to control parts of northern China. The use of aluminum in the coin's production also adds to its historical significance, as it was a material that was in high demand during wartime for its lightweight and durable properties.
