Comment
The regular flags type has the sun-in-square on the left flag; the reversed flags type has the sun-in-square on the right flag.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The 1920s and 1930s saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the rise of the Republic of China, as well as the Chinese Civil War and the Japanese invasion of China. Despite these challenges, the minting of coins like the 10 Cash coin continued, providing a tangible link to the country's rich cultural heritage.
