gxseries Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 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.
