Comment
Previously known as y1038Interesting fact
The 1996 Unicorn coin from the People's Republic of China is unique in that it features a unicorn on its obverse side, which is a mythical creature that is not commonly associated with Chinese culture. This design choice was likely made to appeal to international collectors who may be more familiar with unicorns in Western folklore.
