Interesting fact
The 100 Cash coin from Honan Province, made of copper in 1928, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. On the obverse side, the coin bears the image of a mythical creature known as the "Chinese dragon" - a symbol of power, strength, and good luck in Chinese culture. The dragon is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its body curled around the outer rim of the coin, and its head facing towards the center. The reverse side of the coin features the denomination "100 Cash" in Chinese characters, surrounded by a wreath of grains and flowers. This design not only showcases the artistic skill of the mint masters but also reflects the cultural and historical significance of the coin.
