Interesting fact
The retrograde hammer and sickle symbol on the 1933 Szechuan-Shensi Soviet 200 Cash coin is a unique feature, as it is not commonly found on coins from the Republic of China. The retrograde symbol, which features the hammer and sickle in a mirrored orientation, was likely included to symbolize the Soviet Union's support for the Chinese Communist Party during the Chinese Civil War. This coin is a rare and interesting example of the political and ideological influences that shaped the design of currency during this time period.
