Obverse description Host coin of the Republic of China, Szechuan Province, 200 Cash type, bearing a prominent countermark applied by the Hunan-Hubei Soviet authority, consisting of a hammer and sickle device within a five-pointed star, punched into the obverse field. The underlying host coin displays Chinese ideograms arranged in a traditional pattern, with peripheral legends identifying the issuing province and denomination. The countermark is boldly struck, partially obscuring the original design elements beneath it.

Reverse description Reverse of the host coin showing the numeral '200' prominently displayed at center within a lozenge or diamond-shaped frame, itself enclosed by a decorative floral or foliate wreath that encircles the central device. The design is heavily worn and the surface shows significant circulation and environmental damage, consistent with a coin that served as a host planchet for countermarking. The wreath and surrounding field retain traces of the original relief, though detail is largely obscured by wear and corrosion.
