What are the five nickel kings in the Republic of China?

There was no shortage of nickels at that time, so there was no large-scale production and circulation. Only a small amount is issued by the Mint, which is bound with coins of various denominations in that year into "China Annual Coin Collection" and given as a collection or sold to foreign guests (foreign exchange certificates collected in 6 yuan). It is very precious and is called the "five kings" of coins.

1. Among the nickels that Sun Xiang flowed through, it is difficult to collect because the world is scarce. Due to the high price of nickel coins in the Republic of China, it became the imitation object of counterfeiters, resulting in a large number of counterfeit coins in the market. It is worth mentioning that in addition to counterfeit money, five cents with the words "Ping", "Jin" and "Gui" are also counterfeit money. Some friends who dream of finding this kind of trial currency in the market often end up "exploiting loopholes", so we should take this as a lesson and pay attention to it. What needs to be emphasized here is that trial coinage, as a non-circulating currency, will only appear in coin auctions in general, and most of them are in circulation.

During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to save the dying Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong played a game. Li Hongzhang, governor of Zhili, Zeng Guofan, minister of Beiyang, and Zhang Zhidong, governor of Liangjiang, Hunan, launched the famous "Westernization Movement" in China's modern history. While establishing military industry, they also put forward the idea of reforming the silver standard system in Qing Dynasty. This idea was appreciated by Emperor Guangxu, but he got into trouble by asking foreign powers for silver dollars. With his acquiescence, Li Hongzhang not only planned and formulated the reform plan of the monetary system, but also made an overseas investigation, and entrusted the famous Birmingham Mint in Britain to cast several nickel coin models for the Qing government.
