The historical background of Henan Baiwen copper yuan casting:
During the period of the Republic of China, warlords fought in a chaotic battle and chased after the Central Plains; after every overseer and chairman of Henan Province came to power, in order to maintain huge military expenditures and further loot the people's fat and people's paste, they all cast copper dollars in a large number of special casts to make huge profits. In early May 1927, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Nationalist Government in Wuhan and the Nationalist Army jointly attacked the Feng army in Henan, forcing the Feng army to withdraw from Henan.
After the end of the war in Henan, Feng Yuxiang became the chairman of Henan Province. In March 1928, the Nationalist Army founded the Henan Agricultural and Industrial Bank, with its headquarters in Kaifeng, the seat of the provincial government. Although it is of the nature of a joint venture between government and business, less than one-tenth of the commercial stocks are in place. On March 16 of the same year, the bank began to issue 10 million strings of copper dollar bills, which were merged into the Northwest Bank in October. In order to redeem the banknotes, Feng Yuxiang ordered the Henan Copper Yuan Bureau to mint 100 copper yuan.
What is the difference between the Henan Dangbaiwen copper dollar and the previous Henan copper dollar?
The pattern on the front and back of the Dangbai copper yuan is similar to the Dangwuyi Banner Jiahe copper yuan cast in the early period. In the 66-point bead circle in the center of the front, there is a blooming 12-petaled flat chrysanthemum set off by two clusters of Jiahe, the upper edge book "Republic of China" and the lower edge book "Dangbaiwen Copper Yuan", each side of which has a three-dimensional long 6-petal large flower in the shape of relief; the double flag crossed in the center of the back has been significantly changed, symbolizing the Xinhai Revolution and the establishment of the Republic of China, the five-color flag and the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag have been replaced by the Blue Sky White Sun Flag and the Blue Sky White Sun Red Flag.
Nowadays, in the collection of copper dollars in the Republic of China, we can not ignore this kind of modified copper dollar, before the double flag pattern of the Republic of China copper dollar is mostly based on the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag during the Xinhai Revolution, and there are also five-color striped flags that symbolize the republic. Later, this kind of Henan copper dollar changed its pattern and became the Kuomintang party emblem flag and the national flag of the Republic of China - the blue sky and the white sun and the red flag! In addition, the face value of 200 texts is also the highest in the circulation of copper dollars in China's national mechanism, so the collection value is extremely high! In particular, those coins with a relatively complete preservation of the coin face pattern and good overall status.
