10 Cash 6th issue, Founding of the Republic, star incuse, copper

The "Founding of the Republic" 10 Cash series ran through multiple die varieties across the early 1920s, and the 6th issue with star incuse represents one of the later refinements in that sequence — the incuse treatment of the reverse stars is a deliberate die modification, not a worn or filled example of an earlier type. Republican-era cash coinage from this period was struck at multiple provincial mints with inconsistent quality control, and attribution between Y#303 sub-varieties frequently hinges on subtle differences in the star treatment and stroke details in the Chinese characters.
