Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 2 Jiao (Northern expedition) 16 (1927) from Fukien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver weighing 5.00 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in China. The coin was issued in 1927, which was the year that the Northern Expedition, a military campaign led by the Nationalist Party (KMT), began. This campaign was a key event in the reunification of China under a single government, and the coin's design reflects this historical context. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Nationalist Party, while the reverse depicts a map of China with the inscription "Northern Expedition" in Chinese characters. This coin is a tangible reminder of a significant moment in Chinese history and serves as a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
