Comment
Type 1 and Type 2 differ in the designs of the flags (Type 1 has three floral stripes whereas Type 2 has four floral stripes).These coins are dated in type calendars: Year 1 of the Chinese republican calendar (obverse) and Year 49 of the Chinese cyclical calendar (reverse).
Interesting fact
The 10 Cash (Type 1) 1 (1912) coin from Sinkiang Province made of Copper is interesting because it features a unique combination of Chinese and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the Chinese characters "大清 dollar" (Da Qing dollar) and the reverse side features the Arabic script "صنكيان" (Sinkiang) and the date "1329" in the Islamic calendar. This blend of cultures reflects the diverse history and cultural exchange that took place in the region during that time.
