Interesting fact
The 200 Cash coin from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper in 1913 was part of a series of coins issued during the Republican period in China, which lasted from 1912 to 1949. The coin features a dragon on one side and the Chinese characters for "200 Cash" on the other. It's interesting to note that the dragon design was a symbol of power and strength in Chinese culture, and it was commonly used on coins during this period. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time, as it was a readily available and affordable metal.
