| Additional information |
Taiwan was ceded to Japan in 1895 under the Treaty of Shimonoseki, making the window for provincial coinage here extraordinarily narrow. The Taipei mint had only been producing machine-struck coins since 1893, and output was cut short before the equipment could be fully exploited. Y#247.2 is distinguished from the closely related 247.1 by a variation in the reverse characters — specifically the rendering of the provincial identifier — making attribution dependent on that single detail rather than any gross physical difference.
