Comment
The issues of 1912 and 1927 can be differentiated through what separates the reverse legend: 1912 has stars and 1927 has rosettes.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China's history. The coin was issued in 1912, the same year that the Qing dynasty was overthrown and the Republic of China was established. This coin serves as a symbol of the new government and the shift towards modernization and democracy.
