Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1924 Fukien Province 2 Jiao/20 Cents silver coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual Chinese characters or national emblem, the coin bears an image of a sailing ship, which represents the province's rich maritime history and its importance as a port city. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period, making it a distinctive and sought-after collector's item.
