Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was minted in 1919, which was the year that the Qing dynasty, which had ruled China for over 2,000 years, was overthrown and the Republic of China was established. This period saw a lot of political upheaval and power struggles, and the coin may have been minted as a way to help finance the new government's activities. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring a flower and the characters for "TWENTY CASH," may have been intended to symbolize the new government's commitment to reform and modernization.
