Comment
One important thing to note is that, while the proper spelling would have been 'Cheh-kiang' (as seen on pieces struck at Hangchow), the spelling on these patterns is 'Che-kiang'.Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Yuan - Guangxu (Pattern; copper) ND (1902) from Chekiang Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper is a rare and highly sought-after coin among collectors. It is believed that only 200 of these coins were minted, making it a highly valuable piece of numismatic history.
