Interesting fact
The 10 Cash coin from the Republic of China, which was minted in 1912, features a unique design that reflects the country's transition from a imperial dynasty to a modern republic. The obverse side of the coin features the Chinese character "zhong" (中), which means "central" or "middle," signifying the centralized power of the new republic. The reverse side features the denomination "10 cash" and a stylized image of a plum blossom, which is a symbol of longevity and prosperity in Chinese culture. The use of brass as the material for the coin was also a departure from the traditional use of silver or gold in Chinese coinage, reflecting the country's shift towards modernization and economic development.
