One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Fen coin from Republic of China made of Silver is that it features a unique "Fat Man dollar" design, which was a departure from the traditional Chinese dragon or phoenix designs commonly found on coins at the time. This design was intended to symbolize the prosperity and good fortune of the Chinese people.
