Previously known as y906Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the return of Macau to China from Portuguese rule, which took place on December 20, 1999. The coin's design features an image of the Ruins of St. Paul's, a historic landmark in Macau, on one side, and the National Emblem of the People's Republic of China on the other. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and those interested in the history of Macau and China.
