This coin is a distinctively designed coin produced by the Chengtu Arsenal. On the obverse side of the coin, there is an image of a horse, while the reverse side features a bundle of orchids, hence the name horse and orchid coin.
Since the establishment of the Republic of China, various warlords in Sichuan engaged in power struggles, resulting in regional fragmentation. To solidify control over their respective territories, these warlords minted horse and orchid coins. It wasn’t until AD 1935, with the implementation of currency reforms by the Republic of China government, that horse and orchid coins were replaced by legal tender.
