Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in China. The coin was issued in 1919, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The coin's design, featuring the phrase "Support the Republic" and the image of a standing figure, symbolizes the new government's desire to promote unity and stability in the country. Despite the coin's issuance during a tumultuous period, it remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history.
