10 Cash - Guangxu Without English denomination, five characters

Anhwei's machine-struck cash coins of this period emerged from a provincial mint that was, by most accounts, poorly regulated and inconsistently supplied. The absence of an English denomination legend — standard on most contemporaneous provincial issues — places this squarely among the earlier Anhwei types, before the mint had fully standardized its output to imperial specifications. The result is a series with notable die variation and inconsistent planchet quality, both of which are documented under the Y#38b subvarieties.
