Comment
While Krause lists the date of this type as 1912, that is highly speculative and unlikely. The obverse design closely resembles pieces 50, 100, and 200 Cash pieces dated 1926, so that is a more likely date; however, more research is needed on this type.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Fen (Pattern) ND (1926) from Szechuan Province made of Copper weighing 5.73g is that it is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. Its rarity is due to the limited number of coins minted during its production, and its value is determined by its historical significance, condition, and demand in the collector's market.
