Is the copper coin, the commemorative coin of the founding of the Republic of China, officially made?

After the founding of the Republic of China, copper coins continued to be widely used. The biggest difference is that the dragon pattern rich in imperial color has been replaced by the harvest pattern composed of rice ears. The first commemorative coin with golden harvest pattern cast on copper coin belongs to the founding commemorative coin. At the beginning of the Republic of China, commemorative coins of the Republic of China were issued everywhere, especially in Tianjin Mint. There are three denominations of this coin, especially the five denominations are extremely rare. There are two versions of the face value of 20 characters: Gansu version and Tianjin version. The face value of "20" in Tianjin version is lowercase, which is extremely rare. Copper coins with cross face value are the most common, and their varieties and styles are extremely complicated, but they can be roughly divided into two categories: one is double chess on the front, the other is golden harvest on the back, and the outside of the English "Republic of China Cross" double flag can also be divided into beading and beading; On the other hand, the back is a pattern of golden Harvest figure and leaves, which are generally arranged counterclockwise. If you see the clockwise arrangement, the number of "reverse flowers" is small.

19 14, the copper coin was officially renamed as "copper coin". The biggest difference between the copper coins issued in the Republic of China and the Qing Dynasty is that the dragon pattern was replaced by the golden ear pattern composed of rice ears. Most of the copper coins cast in various provinces are double-sided flag patterns with the words "Founding Commemorative Coin" or "Republic of China Copper Coin". At present, most of the commemorative coins on the market are ordinary "founding commemorative coins", and some of them are still valuable. Among them, the rare commemorative coins like Sun Yat-sen's Founding of the People's Republic of China and Xu Shichang Cross Copper Coin, as well as a 500-word big copper coin cast in Henan in the 20th year of the Republic of China, are also extremely rare. At present, the fineness of copper coins on the market is also uneven. The quality of copper coins collected in some private museums is higher than that in Qing Dynasty and Guangxu Yuanbao. At present, the fineness of common currencies on the market is 89%-92.5%. At present, the prices of most copper coins are not high, and the potential investment value of copper coins has not been discovered by most people. It is extremely difficult to find some rare copper coins in the market now, and there are also many counterfeit and inferior coins in the market.

The confusion of the copper coin system in the Republic of China is also reflected in the decline in the quality of local coins. On the contrary, the management of coins in the Qing Dynasty was stricter than that in the Republic of China. If there is sand converted into coins in copper coins, it is definitely private casting. During the Republic of China, many warlord separatist forces also cast a large number of sand-cast copper coins and silver coins. Sand-cast copper coins, which are common in remote areas such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Gansu, are most abused. Gansu is the most famous. At that time, there were the most sand tables in Tianshui, Gansu Province, because it was cast in Tianshui, commonly known as "Tianshui sand table". Sand copper coins are purely for profit, so they are shoddy and cut corners. The lower the cost, the better. As a result, the copper coins in the sand table were of poor quality, full of mistakes, boiling in public anger, and even refused to use them later. The natural "Tianshui sand table" has lost its prestige. 1926, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army defeated Kong's army and entered Tianshui. The copper coins in Tianshui sand table did great harm to people, and finally disappeared, and the coins flowing into the folk sand table disappeared.
