Description.
Made of silver. The obverse features a design of an American-style car, possibly a Buick model, driving over a stylised field of tall grass. The reverse contains central calligraphic characters surrounded by a pearl border, indicating the provincial origin and face value, flanked by two plum blossoms on the sides. The piece stands out for its iconographic rarity and great numismatic value, with clearly legible inscriptions and the characteristic relief of the vehicle.
