| Additional information |
Fukien province operated its own mint at Fuzhou largely independent of central monetary policy, and the transition from Qing imperial coinage to Republican issues in 1912 was handled with minimal interruption to production. This 1 Jiao type is catalogued under Y#380 and represents one of the smaller-denomination provincial silver issues of the early Republic — a period when provincial mints still exercised enough autonomy to strike on their own authority before Nanking and later Peking moved to consolidate coinage control.
The 2.60g weight places it slightly under the standard it nominally tracked.
