Description from the seller
CHINA. 20 Fen. 1938.
- Value: 20 Fen.
- Year: 1938 (27th year of the Republic).
- Inscriptions: Obverse: left-facing bust of Sun Yat-sen, surrounded by a legend in Chinese characters indicating the Republic of China and the year of issue. Reverse: central character 布 with value marks of 20 Cents, flanked by Chinese characters, all within a geometric Greek-key border.
- Grade: MS63 (NGC).
Nickel alloy coin belonging to the late-1930s Chinese Republican series. The obverse features a realist, sober portrait of Sun Yat-sen, with good facial modeling and firm relief, characteristic of the political iconography of the Republican period. The reverse shows a geometric design with strong symbolic character, with the value expressed by traditional characters and a well-defined decorative border. Example with notable original luster, clean fields and uniform light patina, with slight surface marks consistent with the grade, offering a balanced and attractive visual presence.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to be absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
