Interesting fact
The 20 Cash coin from Hunan Province, made of copper and weighing 9.57g, was issued during a time of great economic change in China.

The 20 Cash coin was part of a series of coins introduced during this period, and it was designed to be easily accessible to the general population, with a low denomination and a durable design that could withstand heavy use. Despite its humble origins, this coin is now a sought-after collector's item, offering a glimpse into China's rich economic history.
