| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the denomination '二十文' (20 Wen/Cash) in large Chinese characters, flanked on either side by a symmetrical laurel or grain wreath tied at the base. Surrounding the wreath, a circular legend in regular script (kaishu) reads the reign year 'Xuantong Year 3' (宣統三年) at the top and the monetary equivalency inscription '換枚十五幣銀圓一' (50 pieces to 1 silver Yuan) along the lower arc. The overall design is clean and centrally composed in a milled, proof-like style consistent with an official pattern strike. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Produced in the final months of the Qing dynasty, this pattern was struck as the imperial government scrambled to modernize and centralize coin production — a project rendered immediately moot by the Wuchang Uprising of October 1911. Xuantong, the child emperor Puyi, was barely six years old when these trial pieces were being evaluated.
Hsu#32 documents a small survivor pool; patterns from this period were never approved for circulation, and most were either melted or dispersed as the dynasty collapsed within weeks of their striking.
