Interesting fact
The 5 Yuan (Elephant) 1990 coin from the People's Republic of China is a unique piece with a fascinating fact. Despite being minted in 1990, it was not released for circulation until 2000, as part of a special commemorative collection honoring the Chinese Lunar Year of the Dragon. This makes it a rare and sought-after collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of Chinese culture.
