Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The year 1924 was a period of warlordism, where various regional military leaders were vying for power and control in the wake of the fall of the Qing dynasty. Despite this instability, the Kwangsi Province still managed to produce a standardized coinage, such as this 2 Jiao / 20 Cents coin, which speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people in the region.
