Comment
Previously known as y1196Interesting fact
The 1996 People's Republic of China 5 Yuan silver coin featuring Goddess Kuan Yin is quite unique as it has a special feature. The coin has a unique "ring" effect where when held up to the light, the coin appears to have a ring around the outer edge. This is due to the way the coin was minted, with a slightly raised rim around the edge of the coin. This feature adds an extra layer of beauty and collectibility to the coin, making it stand out from other coins.
