1 Jiao / 10 Cents

Kwangsi (Guangxi) maintained its own provincial mint despite chronic instability — the province changed military hands repeatedly during the warlord period, and coins issued under nominal Republican authority often reflected little actual central government control. This 10 Cent piece dates to a moment when the Guangzhou-based revolutionary movement and northern Beiyang government were simultaneously claiming legitimacy over southern provinces, leaving Kwangsi's administration in a functionally autonomous position.

The Y#414 type is notably light even by the reduced provincial silver standards of the period, a consequence of deliberate fineness adjustments that plagued southern mint output after 1917.
