Interesting fact

The 5 Jiao 1-2 coin from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver weighing 12.90 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was minted between 1912 and 1913, a period when the country was transitioning from the Qing dynasty to the Republic of China. This coin is a symbol of that transition and represents a unique moment in Chinese history.
