Interesting fact
The 1 Fen (Brass) 18 (1929) coin from the Manchurian Provinces (Chinese provinces) made of Brass was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was issued in 1929, just a year after the founding of the Nationalist Government, also known as the Kuomintang (KMT), which was established by Sun Yat-sen. The KMT government was faced with many challenges, including warlordism, foreign invasion, and economic instability, which made it difficult for the government to maintain a stable currency. As a result, the value of the Fen coin fluctuated greatly during this time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains an important piece of Chinese numismatic history.
