| Additional information |
A mule in the technical sense: obverse and reverse dies from different intended pairings were combined, almost certainly by accident during the chaotic early years of mechanized copper cash production at the Kiangnan Arsenal mint. Provincial mints in this period were running multiple denominations simultaneously with limited oversight, and die mismatches were an occupational hazard rather than a deliberate experiment.
Y#A162 is among the scarcer Kiangnan mule attributions. Most examples that surface have seen real circulation — they spent time in the market regardless of their accidental origins.
