| Obverse description | Central design features two crossed flags tied together at their staffs with a ribbon, enclosed within a raised inner circle. The left flag bears a simplified emblem device, while the right flag is plain. Chinese characters arranged around the periphery of the coin read 中華銅幣 (Chinese copper coin) above and 當制錢十文 (equivalent to ten cash in currency) below. The coin's milled edge border frames the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
The Republic of China's cash coinage of this period was produced across multiple provincial mints with wildly inconsistent quality control, and the "simple flag" variety of the third issue reflects a deliberate design simplification likely driven by die-cutting economies during a period of severe fiscal strain. China maintained several competing monetary authorities in 1919, and central coordination was largely nominal.
Y#307 is frequently encountered with die misalignment and uneven planchet preparation — not collector-grade weakness, but a documented characteristic of the Wuchang mint's output for this type.
