Comment
According to THIS book these coins were instead manufactured in a private Chinese engeneering concern in the Yangshupu district of Shanghai.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a brief period of Japanese occupation in China, specifically in the Reformed Government of the Republic of China, which was established by Japan in 1938 and lasted until 1940. The coin's design and production were likely influenced by Japanese authorities, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
