Comment
Krause and Kann attribute this coin as a 1923 commemorative for the Wedding of Emperor Puyi; however, that is doubtful because the Emperor has last married in 1922 (his first two wives), and he did not marry again until 1937 (his third wife).Interesting fact
The 1 Jiao coin from Republic of China (1926) features the "Twelve Symbols national emblem" on its reverse side, which represents the twelve traditional Chinese symbols of sovereignty and power. These symbols are: 1. Dragon 2. Phoenix 3. Unicorn 4. Turtle 5. Fish 6. Lion 7. Phoenix (again) 8. Tiger 9. Leopard 10. Elephant 11. Hawk 12. Eagle These symbols were used in ancient China to symbolize the power and authority of the emperor, and were later adopted as the national emblem of the Republic of China. The inclusion of these symbols on the coin reflects the rich cultural heritage and history of China.
