| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1912 "Birth of the Republic" 2 Jiao was issued in the chaotic first months following the Xinhai Revolution, when the newly proclaimed Republic of China needed coinage that signaled a decisive break from Qing dynastic rule. Multiple mints across China struck these pieces simultaneously, with output quality varying considerably between facilities — a known inconsistency in the series rather than individual die failure.
The Kann reference places this alongside a cluster of transitional commemorative-style issues from 1912 that were as much political instruments as circulating currency, produced while Yuan Shikai was consolidating presidential power in Beijing.
