Interesting fact
The 5 Yuan (Camel) 1995 coin from the People's Republic of China is unique in that it features a camel, which is not a common motif on Chinese coins. It was issued to commemorate the 1995 China International Philatelic Exhibition, and its design is inspired by the famous "Silk Road" that connected China to the Middle East and Europe. The use of a camel on the coin symbolizes the long history of cultural and trade exchanges between China and other countries along the Silk Road.
