Interesting fact
The 50 Cash (Copper) 20 (1931) coin from Honan Province is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was produced during a time of great economic and political change in China, and its design reflects the country's transition from a traditional imperial system to a modern republic. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the founder of modern China, while the reverse depicts a stylized dragon and the Chinese characters for "Honan Province." The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction.
