Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1949 2 Jiao / 20 Cents coin from Kwangsi Province made of Silver is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era. The obverse of the coin bears the image of a smiling Sun Yat-sen, the first president of the Republic of China, while the reverse features a stylized representation of the Chinese characters for "Kwangsi Province" surrounded by a wreath of flowers. This design was specifically created to commemorate the 38th year of the Republic of China, which was also the first year that the Kwangsi Province issued its own coins. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, not only because of its historical significance but also due to its limited mintage and the fact that it was made of silver, which adds to its intrinsic value.
