Comment
The spade represented is an issue of the State of Han issue during the Warring States period, cast circa 350-250 BC.Interesting fact
The 1 Fen 38 coin from Suiyuan Province was minted during a time of great change in China. In 1949, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led by Mao Zedong came to power, and the country began to transition from a Nationalist government to a socialist state. This coin, minted in the same year, features a unique blend of traditional Chinese design elements and socialist symbols, reflecting the changing political landscape of the time.
