Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1990 Li ShiZhen 5 Yuan silver coin from the People's Republic of China is that it features a unique design that represents the ancient Chinese concept of the "five elements" or "wu xing" - wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The coin's design incorporates these elements in a harmonious and balanced way, reflecting the traditional Chinese belief in the importance of maintaining balance and harmony in all aspects of life.
