| Additional information |
The proliferation of 10 Cash types during the early Republic period reflects the near-total breakdown of centralized mint authority after Yuan Shikai's death in 1916. Provincial authorities and semi-autonomous warlord administrations struck copper cash in overlapping series with little coordination, producing dozens of subtypes — Y#306.4 being one of several closely related variants distinguished primarily by minor die differences in the border beading and character spacing. Many circulated alongside earlier Qing-era cash with no practical distinction made by users.
