Interesting fact
The 10 Cash coin from Sinkiang Province, made of copper and weighing 14.37g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in China. The coin was minted in 1916, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw a shift towards modernization and the adoption of new technologies, and the coin's design reflects this change, with its simple, modern design and lack of traditional floral motifs. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a fascinating piece of Chinese history.
