Interesting fact

The 10 Cash 49 coin from Kiangsi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper weighing 7.32 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in China, as the country was transitioning from a traditional imperial system to a modern republic. The coin's design reflects this change, featuring a blend of traditional Chinese symbols and modern elements, such as the Republican era's "Double Ten" logo on the obverse (front side). This coin is a unique piece of history that showcases the evolution of China's currency and the country's shift towards modernity.
