Description from the seller
CHINA. 20 Fen. 1938.
- Value: 20 Fen.
- Year: 1938 (27th year of the Republic).
- Inscriptions: Obverse: bust of Sun Yat-sen facing left, surrounded by a Chinese-character legend indicating the Republic of China and the year of issue. Reverse: central character 布 with value marks 20 Cents, flanked by Chinese characters, all within a geometric Greek-key border.
- Grade: MS63 (NGC).
Coin belonging to the late-1930s Chinese Republican series. The obverse features a portrait of Sun Yat-sen in a realistic and sober style, 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. A specimen with notable original lustre, 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 leave 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 EU that has 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.
