Interesting fact
The ½ Fen (Brass) 38 coin from Kweichow Province (now known as Guizhou Province) is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was produced during a time of great change in China, as the Communist Party was establishing its rule and the country was undergoing rapid industrialization and modernization. The coin's design features the national emblem of China on one side and the denomination and year on the other, and its brass composition gives it a distinctive golden color. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived in good condition and are highly sought after by collectors of Chinese numismatics.
