One interesting fact about the 1995 Chinese Chess Silver Bullion 5 Yuan coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the ancient Chinese game of chess, also known as Xiangqi. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of a chessboard with pieces from both sides, while the reverse side features a magnified image of a single chess piece, the "General" or "Emperor" piece, which is the most powerful piece in the game. This design was chosen to symbolize the strategic and intellectual aspects of the game, which has been a popular pastime in China for centuries.
