Interesting fact
The 10 Cash coin from the Republic of China (1919) was designed by a famous Chinese artist named Xu Jiaojun. Xu was known for his work in the traditional Chinese style, and his design for the 10 Cash coin features an ornate flag on the obverse (front) side, with the Chinese characters for "Republic of China" on the reverse (back) side. The use of brass as the material for the coin was also a deliberate choice, as it was a widely available and affordable metal at the time. Despite its relatively low value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and artistic design.
