content: This is a twenty cash coin, made in 1919 likely from the Hunan province of China. One side of the coin has wheat and foliage. Another side has two crossed flags. The flag on the left is the Chinese Army Republic flag (1911-1928), and the flag on the right is the Five-Colored flag of the Republic of China. This flag was the National flag from 1911-1928. It reflects one of the main principles of the republic at the time: harmonious existence under one nation of the 5 major ethnic groups of China (the Han, the Manchus, the Mongols, the Tibetans, and the Uyghurs).
