Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 20 Cash ("20 CASH") ND (1919) from Hunan Province made of Copper weighing 9.47 g is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in China. The coin was minted in 1919, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw a lot of inflation and economic instability, which led to the introduction of new currency systems and the minting of coins like this one. Despite the challenges of the time, this coin has survived and remains an interesting piece of numismatic history.
