Interesting fact

The 10 Cash coin from Sinkiang Province made of Copper in 1922 has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great change in China. The coin was minted in the year 1340 of the Chinese calendar, which corresponds to 1922 in the Gregorian calendar. This was a time of great political upheaval in China, as the Qing dynasty had recently fallen and the Republic of China was established. Additionally, Sinkiang Province was a region that was heavily influenced by various warlords and factions, making the minting of this coin a significant achievement.
