Interesting fact
The ½ Jiao / 5 Cents 12 (1923) coin from Kwangtung Province was minted during a time of great change in China. In 1923, the country was in the midst of a civil war between the Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Communist Party (CPC). The coin's mintage was likely affected by the political instability of the time, and it's possible that some of these coins were produced in areas controlled by the Nationalist government, while others were minted in areas controlled by the Communist government. This historical context adds an interesting layer of complexity to the coin's story and makes it a unique piece of Chinese numismatic history.
