| Additional information |
Fukien Province issued this coin to commemorate the Northern Expedition, the Nationalist military campaign launched by Chiang Kai-shek in 1926 to unify China under Kuomintang control by defeating the northern warlords. Fukien had been brought under Nationalist control by late 1926, and provincial coinage of this type functioned partly as political currency — a declaration of allegiance as much as a medium of exchange.
Y#384 is among the scarcer provincial commemoratives of the Republican period, with surviving specimens frequently showing light cabinet friction rather than true circulation wear, suggesting many were preserved from issue.
