Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political turmoil in China. The Provincial Constitution that the coin commemorates was established in 1921, just a year before the coin was minted, and it marked a significant shift in the political power dynamics of the country. The coin's design, which features a stylized dragon and the Chinese characters for "Provincial Constitution," reflects the cultural and historical significance of this period in Chinese history.
