Interesting fact

The 1995 Maritime Junk 50 Yuan gold coin from the People's Republic of China features a unique design that showcases the country's rich maritime history. The coin's obverse side depicts a stunning image of an ancient Chinese junk, a type of sailing ship that was used for centuries in the region. The junk is shown sailing through rough waters, with its sails billowing in the wind. The coin's reverse side features the national emblem of China, along with the coin's denomination and year of issue. Interestingly, the coin's design was inspired by a famous Chinese painting called "Nine Dragons Encircling the Sea," which depicts nine dragons surrounding a junk in the midst of a stormy sea. The painting is a symbol of China's maritime prowess and its ability to navigate through challenging waters. The coin's designers incorporated elements of this painting into the coin's design, making it a unique and meaningful collector's item for anyone interested in Chinese history and culture.
