| Additional information |
The Szechuan Provincial Military Government came into being almost immediately after the Wuchang Uprising of October 1911, when local revolutionary forces ousted the Qing administration in one of the most strategically significant provinces in China. Szechuan's copper cash issues from this transitional period were struck under genuinely chaotic administrative conditions — the provincial mint changed political hands more than once before the Republic was fully consolidated.
Y#448 is known with significant die variation across the 1912–1914 window, a predictable consequence of interrupted oversight and multiple production runs under different military governors.
