Comment
While Krause lists this coin as a regular issue, auction houses consistently list the nickel type as a pattern. It is likely all compositions are actually patterns.Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Jiao coin from Szechuan Province is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted in 1926. The coin's design features a stylized dragon on the obverse (front side) and a phoenix on the reverse (back side), which symbolize good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. The use of brass as the material for the coin adds to its unique character and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
