Provincial double five-color flag coins
At that time, although the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, but as an emerging country must run its own economy, and coins are one of the main tools of economic activities, so after the national flag is determined, the coins that match it also come into being, and the back of the coins issued by many provinces is also printed with a double five-color flag pattern, but carefully examined, the external shape of the double flag is not the same as the pattern details in the flag:

The second side strip is a dot distribution, the third side strip is a thick straight (horizontal) line pattern, the fourth side strip is a smooth surface without grain, and the fifth side strip is a "well" shaped pattern.
