Interesting fact
The 50 Cash coin from Honan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Brass has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great change in China. In 1931, the Chinese government was in the process of transitioning from a imperial system to a republic, and this coin was minted during that transition period. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique combination of traditional Chinese symbols, such as the dragon and the phoenix, alongside modernist elements, reflecting the blending of old and new cultural influences in China at that time.
