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

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Jiao (Pattern; nickel) ND (1926) from Szechuan Province made of Copper-nickel weighing 4.47 g is that it is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. Its rarity is due to the limited mintage and the fact that many of these coins were melted down for their metal content over the years, making it even more scarce. As a result, it can fetch a high price at auctions and among collectors, making it a prized addition to any coin collection.
