This coin is a ten-cash Republic of China error mint coin which was issued in AD 1920. Following the victory of the AD 1911 Revolution, the Qing Emperor abdicated, leading to the establishment of the Republic of China. In the early years of the Republic, republic coins were minted to replace the copper coins of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the interim president, Sun Yat-sen, proposed a new coin design featuring the motif of “depicting a model of five grains in the centre, symbolizing the abundance of harvests and encouraging agricultural development.” Subsequently, many provinces participated in the minting and issuance of new coins, with the dual flags being a common design pattern on these coins.
The obverse of this coin depicts a crossed arrangement of the Eighteen-Star Flag and the Five-Colored Flag, intertwined with a decorative ribbon. Above, there is an image of a chrysanthemum, and the upper circumference of the circular frame is inscribed with “Republic of China,” while the lower edge bears the inscription “Ten Cash.” On either side, there are cast designs of branching flowers and leaves. The reverse side within the circular frame features a depiction of five spikes and four leaves, symbolizing a bountiful harvest. The outer circumference is adorned with the inscriptions “THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA,” “TEN CASH,” and two circular dots. Both faces exhibit inner serrations and outer borders, with a smooth coin edge.
