Interesting fact
The 1 Fen/1 Cent coin from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper in 1930 is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in China. In the 1930s, China was experiencing significant political upheaval, with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. Additionally, the 1930s saw the rise of communist movements in China, which would ultimately lead to the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Against this backdrop of political change, the production of coins like the 1 Fen/1 Cent coin from Szechuan Province represents a fascinating intersection of numismatics and history.
