gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 08/26/2012 08:37 am Picked this coin up: This is a rather difficult coin to find in better condition. This coin was modelled after Sichuan 50 cash which you can see an exmaple here: While I haven't been throughly reading the history of different Chinese Provinces, it might be one of the coins struck during the chaotic warlord era. Quite fascinating. Wikipedia's page might give a good start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlord_era Got a feeling that it might have been one of the military governors that wanted to take his idea of establishing such coins from Sichuan to Hubei.

The reverse of your coin makes me think of U.S Flowing Hair 1 Cent Chain Reverse [url][/url] Interesting. Thanks and thank you CCF for the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
