Interesting fact
The 20 Cash coin from Honan Province, China, made of Copper and weighing 9.65g, is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was minted in 1920, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw significant political, economic, and social upheaval, and the coin's production was likely affected by these changes. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that the coin was intended for everyday use by the general population, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy. Overall, this coin provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of early 20th-century China.
