Comment
These were struck at the Tientsin Mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1921 to commemorate the inauguration of President Xu Shichang, who served as the President of the Republic of China from 1921 to 1922. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history, made of silver and weighing 26.50 grams. It is a circulating commemorative coin, meaning it was intended for everyday use as a means of payment, rather than a collector's item.
