China 10 cash State Coinage Coat of Arms Y-303 MS63 PCGS copper coin ND 1920

The China 10 Cash State Coinage issue, ND (1920) represents a mature stage of early Republican coin design, combining national symbolism with refined decorative elements. Struck in copper and certified PCGS MS63 Brown, this coin belongs to the official State Coinage series and reflects the Republic of China’s effort to establish stable national imagery during the post-revolutionary era.

The obverse displays a bold crossed-flags composition at the center. One flag bears a circular emblem composed of multiple radiating dots within a diamond-shaped field, while the opposite flag shows flowing vertical stripes. The flagpoles are tied together with cords and tassels, forming a symmetrical focal point. Small stars flank the design on both sides, and the entire scene is enclosed by a beaded border. Chinese characters arc around the upper and lower fields, reinforcing the official nature of the issue.

The reverse presents a balanced wreath made of grain stalks and broad leaves, symbolizing agriculture, stability, and national prosperity. At the center, the denomination is expressed in Chinese characters, arranged vertically. Additional botanical elements rise from the base, while the surrounding English legend identifies the Republic of China and the value. The design is framed by a clear circular border and an outer beaded rim.

Preserved in Mint State condition with rich brown toning, sharp devices, and excellent surface detail, this PCGS-certified coin is a strong representative of early 20th-century Chinese state coinage and a compelling addition to any historical collection.
