Interesting fact

The 2 Jiao coin from Fukien Province (now known as Fujian Province) was minted in 1932 to commemorate the Canton Martyrs, a group of Chinese revolutionaries who fought against the Qing dynasty in the early 20th century. The coin was made of silver and weighs 5.30 grams, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
