Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political turmoil in China. The coin was issued in 1919, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The coin's design, which features a stylized dragon and the words "Support the Republic," reflects the political climate of the time and the desire for a unified and strong China. Despite the turmoil, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its gold content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
