This type is much cruder than the originals, and is thought to be a warlord issue.It is uncertain wheather these were struck around 1911 or 1913.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Fen - Xuangtong (Imitation of Manchurian Provinces) ND (1911-1913) from Shansi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in China. The Xuangtong period saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, and the coin's design reflects this turmoil, with its blend of traditional Chinese and modern European influences. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
