Lot Description
This is a Republic of China-era copper coin minted in Shanxi Province, commonly known as the "Shanxi Two-Flag Ten-Cash Coin."

The obverse features an intersecting design of the Five-Colored Flag and the Eighteen-Star Double Flag; the reverse displays the inscription "One Coin" at the center, surrounded by a wreath of grain. Notably, the coin does not explicitly indicate its place of origin, making it a representative mechanized copper coin from the warlord period.

The coin exhibits natural aging patina, complete imagery and text, authentic circulation wear, and excellent overall condition.
