Beschrijving voorzijde Central square hole surrounded by four Chinese characters arranged in the four cardinal positions, read clockwise from top: 福 (Fú), 寶 (Bǎo), 建 (Jiàn), 通 (Tōng), forming the legend 福建通寶 (Fújian Tōngbǎo, meaning 'Fujian Universal Currency'). The characters are rendered in bold relief within a plain, unadorned field. A raised circular rim borders the outer edge of the coin. The traditional cash-coin format follows established Chinese numismatic convention, with the legend read top-bottom-right-left.

Beschrijving keerzijde Central round hole flanked on the left and right by two crossed flags of the Republic of China, rendered in low relief. The denomination 二 (Èr, 'Two') appears above the central hole and 文 (Wén, 'Cash') below, forming the value inscription 二文. The flags serve as a distinctly Republican-era design element, replacing the purely calligraphic reverses of earlier dynastic cash coinage. A plain raised rim encircles the design.

Aanvullende informatie

Fujian Province issued these brass cash pieces in the immediate aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution, filling a practical gap while the new Republican government scrambled to establish coherent monetary policy. Traditional cast coinage had been functionally obsolete for years, but machine-struck cash in the old denomination persisted in Fujian longer than almost anywhere else in China — a provincial stubbornness rooted in the conservatism of rural interior markets that still priced goods in cash strings.

Production was brief. By 1913 the province had largely abandoned the format in favor of copper cents on the colonial model.
