Additional information

Pattern coins from Kwangtung Province in the 1920s were produced amid the political fragmentation of the warlord era, when southern China operated in effective fiscal independence from Beijing. This gold 2 Jiao pattern from 1924 was almost certainly never intended for circulation — provincial pattern gold of this period typically served as presentation pieces or die trials produced in very small numbers for official approval that rarely came.

KM#Pn23 is poorly documented in the standard references, with no confirmed surviving population figures.
