Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Fen coin from Hupeh Province is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Xuantong period (1909-1911) saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, and this coin was minted during that transition. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
