| Additional information |
Hunan's provincial mint began copper-alloy cash production in the early 1900s under the broader Qing modernization drive that pushed provincial authorities to adopt machine-struck coinage. The "three characters" designation distinguishes this variety by the abbreviated inscription form, separating it from related Hunan 10 Cash types catalogued under Y#113. The distinction matters for attribution — both types circulated simultaneously and the differences are subtle enough that mixed-type accumulations are routine in dealer stock.
