Interesting fact

The 2 Fen/2 Cents coin from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper in 1930 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 of China (CPC). Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring a stylized Chinese dragon on one side and the denomination on the other, is a unique representation of Chinese culture and history.
