Comment
Bar, 80x50mmInteresting fact
The 50 Yuan (Year of the Rat) 2008 silver coin from the People's Republic of China has a unique feature - it has a frosted relief, which gives the coin a distinctive look and feel. The frosted relief is achieved through a special minting process that creates a textured, matte finish on the coin's surface. This process adds depth and dimension to the coin's design, making it stand out from other coins.
