Interesting fact

The 20 Cash coin from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in China, as the country was transitioning from a feudal society to a modern, republican government. This coin was minted during the reign of the Republic of China, which was established in 1912 and lasted until 1949. The coin's design features the Chinese character for "cash" on one side and the number "20" on the other, and it was used as a standard unit of currency during this time period.
