Interesting fact

The 50 Cash coin from Kansu Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper weighing 12.81 g has an interesting fact that it was produced during a time of great change in China. In 1927, the Nationalist government began to reform the currency, and this coin was one of the new standardized coins introduced to replace the old imperial system. This coin was also produced during a time of great political upheaval, as the Nationalist government fought against the Communist Party for control of China. Despite the turmoil, this coin remained in circulation until 1935, when it was replaced by a new design.
