This 10 Cash coin is a Double Flag Coin minted by Henan Province. The obverse side features the English inscription “Ho-nan” at the top edge and “TEN CASH” at the bottom edge. The centre is dominated by two crossed flags, the left flag being the Iron Blood Eighteen-Star Flag and the right flag being the Five-Coloured Flag, both tied together. Each side of the flags is adorned with a lotus pattern.

The reverse side is divided into inner and outer circles. The inner circle features a central hibiscus flower flanked by two rice ears, forming a “one flower two rice ears” pattern. The outer circle has “中華民國” (Republic of China) at the top and “當十銅元”(Ten Cash Copper Coin) at the bottom, with hibiscus flowers on either side.

Among the numerous varieties of Republican copper coins, Henan copper coins are distinctive. Except for the Party Emblem coins of fifty and one hundred Cash minted in the twentieth year of the Republic, other Henan copper coins typically feature a rice ear pattern on the obverse and a double flag design on the reverse. Due to this characteristic, these coins are commonly referred to as Henan Double Flag Coins by the public.

這枚面額十文的硬幣,是河南省造當十雙旗幣,正面上緣有英文Ho-nan,下緣為TEN CASH。中間主體為雙旗,左旗為鐵血十八星旗,右旗為五色旗,兩旗連結在一起,在雙旗左右兩側,各有荷花紋飾。

反面則分為內外兩圈。內圈中央由一芙蓉花,兩嘉禾紋組合而成,形成「一花二禾」的樣式,外圈上緣有「中華民國」,下緣則有「當十銅元」,而外圈兩側則有芙蓉花相伴。

在繁雜的民國銅元中,河南銅元自成一體,除民國二十年鑄造的黨徽五十文、百文外,其它銅元正面均以嘉禾為主,背面配以雙旗圖案,又因其銅元中均有以雙旗做圖案的,故民間又俗稱河南雙旗幣。
