Modern Chinese Varieties: 1997 S5Y and G10Y Genghis Khan

Posted on 4/12/2016

This is the 15th installment of our monthly column featuring modern Chinese varieties.

This month we will feature a mate to a variety that we already recognize. The 1997 S5Y Genghis Khan can be found with and without parenthesis on the reverse of the coin. Coincidentally, the 1997 G50Y Genghis Khan can also be found with the same varieties.
