| Additional information |
Pattern restrikes of this type were produced in the transitional chaos following the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, when provincial mints across China operated with minimal central oversight. Yunnan's mint had a history of irregular production runs, and the line between official patterns and later restrikes made for commercial sale was rarely clean. KM#Pn2 occupies exactly that ambiguous space.
The date range reflects genuine uncertainty about when these pieces left the dies.
