Interesting fact

The 10 Cash coin from Fukien Province (now known as Fujian Province) was issued during the reign of Emperor Pu Yi, who was the last emperor of China. The coin was minted in 1912, which was the same year that the Qing dynasty was overthrown and the Republic of China was established. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time of great political upheaval in China's history.
