Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 20 Cash (Brass) 1-3 (1912-1914) from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Brass weighing 17.61 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The coin was produced during the reign of the Republic of China, which was established in 1912 after the fall of the Qing dynasty. This period saw significant political, social, and economic changes in China, including the establishment of a new government, the rise of nationalism, and the expansion of trade and commerce. Despite the challenges of this time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
