Interesting fact
The 10 Cash coin from Sinkiang Province made of Copper is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in China. In 1930, the country was in the midst of a civil war between the Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Communist Party (CPC). Despite this political instability, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable resource. Today, this coin is a valuable collector's item and serves as a reminder of China's rich history and cultural heritage.
