Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Jiao (Type 1) ND (1912) from Fukien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver weighing 5.40 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The coin was produced in 1912, which was the year that the Qing dynasty, which had ruled China for over 2,000 years, was overthrown and the Republic of China was established. This coin is a tangible reminder of the significant historical events that took place during this time period.
