<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 14705421, member: 4373&quot;]Meng Chiang / Mengjiang was a Japanese puppet state in China. My understanding of Chinese geography is not the best but the current location is around Inner Mongolia. </p><p><br /></p><p>While there are plenty of banknotes issued, there is only one common issued coin, which is the 5 jiao stuck in copper nickel. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/983771.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/983771.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/983771.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/983771.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are other aluminum issues (1 fen, 5 fen and 1 jiao) which are supposed to be common issues however for unknown reasons are extremely rare. The current theory is that majority of the coins were sunk from an allied submarine torpedo. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/meng_chiang-1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/meng_chiang-1.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/catalogue/meng_chiang-1.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, there is supposedly a pattern version of the 5 jiao. Some catalog call this white metal but I believe this is struck in zinc. Mine has a light die rotation error. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1060804.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1060804.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1060804.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1060804.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can tell, this is a lot brighter white and looks like zinc oxidization. I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s rare but they do not appear in the market often. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe you have the rarer version?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
