Interesting fact
The 2 Fen/2 Cents (Copper) 7 (1918) coin from Kwangtung Province is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in China. In 1918, the country was in the midst of a revolution that would ultimately lead to the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still features the familiar design of a dragon on one side and the value and year on the other, showcasing the continuity of traditional Chinese culture even in the face of modernization and change.
