| One the obverse of this coin is Dr. Sun's profile. Above: 31rd year of The Republic of China (1942) in Chinese, surrounded by coloud and thunder pattern. On the reverse of this coin is the ancient P'U design at center. At the both sides are Chinese characters "Pan-Yuan" (half a dollar), under the P'U is a Chinese character "Kwei", which means this coin was minted in Kweilin Mint of Kwangsi Province. I personally think that the die of this coin was made in San Francisco Mint. This pattern coin should be most extremely rare. This coin struck in white metal alloy.
I know very little about this coin. If you know any more about it, or you want to share your knowledge and enthusism in the Chinese coinage, feel free to contact me please. Thank you in advance. | ||
