Interesting fact
The 1 Jiao 1 coin from Fukien Province (now known as Fujian Province) was minted during a time of great change in China. In 1924, the country was in the midst of a civil war between the Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Communist Party (CPC). Despite the political upheaval, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation. It's also worth noting that the coin's design features a stylized dragon on one side and the Chinese characters "大清幣" (meaning "Great Qing Currency") on the other. The dragon symbolizes power and good luck in Chinese culture, which may have been a symbol of hope for the people of Fukien Province during a time of great uncertainty.
