Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Fen coin from Manchukuo is that it was designed by a Japanese artist named Taro Okamoto, who was also responsible for creating several other coins and banknotes for the puppet state. Despite being created during a time of occupation and conflict, the coin's design features a peaceful and serene image of a plum blossom, which is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the time.
