Interesting fact

The 5 Cash coin from Sinkiang Province made of Copper in 1913 is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in China. The coin was minted during the reign of the Republic of China, which was established in 1912 after the fall of the Qing dynasty. This period saw significant political, social, and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system. The 5 Cash coin was part of this new system and was used widely in circulation throughout China. Despite the changes and upheavals of the time, the coin remains a tangible link to China's rich history and cultural heritage.
