Interesting fact
The 20 Cash coin from Kansu Province, also known as the "Lanchow copper," was minted during a time of great economic and political change in China. The coin was introduced in 1920, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The coin's design features a stylized Chinese dragon on one side and the denomination and year of minting on the other. Despite its relatively low value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
