Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash (Hunan-Hupeh Soviet; countermarked) ND (1931) from Republic of China made of Copper is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic turmoil in China. The coin was minted in 1931, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The country was then plagued by warlordism, corruption, and foreign invasion, which led to the creation of various local currencies, including the Hunan-Hupeh Soviet. The countermark on the coin signifies that it was issued by the Hunan-Hupeh Soviet, a short-lived communist government that controlled parts of Hunan and Hubei provinces in central China. Despite its turbulent history, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a testament to China's complex and fascinating past.
