This error coin was minted circa 1901 at the mint in Kangsu Province, China so it's considered a Provincial Issue. The coin is a 5 Cash coin without a circle around dragon. Click on photo to enlarge. Notice the words "EIVE CASH" at bottom of coin. It should read "FIVE CASH."

Hehe, good one. Well, most of us make typos from time to time, but on fairly modern coins ... One might assume they would have some kind of QC at the mint. Christian
