CHINA. Kiangsi. Da Han Rebel Coinage 10 Cash, CD 1911.Y-411 (RARE); HSU-253; CCC-293; Comprehensive Catalog of Copper Coins-1581 pg.180; Ma Dingxiang pg.62 plate coin. The design of this coin depicts "The Flag of Iron Blood and Eighteen Stars", better known as the "Wuhan Flag". This, the military flag of the Wuchang uprising, features a star design with eighteen circles. It represents the eighteen provinces involved in the uprising. Revolution quickly spread through the provinces, leading to the overthrow of the Qing government and the founding of the Republic of China.<br /> The Qing authorities considered this to be an unauthorized illegal issue and proceeded to destroy examples that fell into their possession. Historically significant and extremely rare, currently only a handful of examples are known to exist. Most references suggest only five examples are known, two of which are currently in museums.<br /> A similar example sold for RMB 224,000 in the China Guardian 2010 Spring Auction, Lot #5555. <br /> Light golden brown color, over all nice appearance, some rim nicks and surface marks as normal for this issue.
