民国三年湖北省造通用铜币当钱二十文。铜製。极罕，存世仅有几枚。很可能于四川打铸但用于湖北省。引述Duan当时用于替换货币。有趣，值得深究。比起我们于2017年8月份拍卖中所拍的60243号拍品更为漂亮。铸打深邃，流通痕迹均匀，深包浆。

CHINA. Hupeh. 20 Cash, ND (ca. 1914). PCGS VF-35 Secure Holder.KM-A405; Duan-2277(2011 edition); CL-Unlisted; CCC-Unlisted. Struck in copper. EXTREMELY RARE with few examples known. According to the Krause book, the attribution of this piece to Hupeh is uncertain. It was likely struck in Szechuan for use in Hupeh. However, according to Duan these were issued as substitute currency. Very interesting and deserving of further in depth research. Far nicer than the example that we sold in out August 2017 Hong Kong auction, Lot # 60243 which was quite worn. Good strike with moderate signs of circulation and deep patina.
