| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a single large Chinese character rendered in Seal script (篆書), encircled by a ring of small decorative pellets or circles. Above the central character, a horizontal inscription in standard Chinese script reads the regnal and republic date. The overall design is tightly composed, with the legends and decorative border filling the coin's face in a formal, official style characteristic of early Republican Chinese provincial coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features four large Chinese characters arranged in a two-column, top-to-bottom, right-to-left reading order, flanking a small decorative flower motif at the centre. A surrounding circular legend, divided into two arcs, carries additional characters denoting the provincial issuing authority and denomination. The inscription identifies the coin as a copper piece worth 50 cash, manufactured by the Szechuan Provincial Military Government, with the legend distributed evenly around the entire periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Szechuan's republican copper issues of 1912–13 emerged from genuine administrative chaos. The province had been at the center of the Railway Protection Movement in 1911 — the popular uprising that directly triggered the Wuchang Revolt and the collapse of the Qing dynasty. The new provincial government inherited minting infrastructure but little fiscal stability, and large-denomination coppers like this 50 cash piece were a practical response to acute small-change shortages rather than any coordinated monetary policy from Nanjing.
Struck at the Chengdu mint, these pieces saw hard use in a province still politically unsettled well into 1913.
