But as the mark was likely stamped on by a third party, I can't think of a reference which would confirm who made it and why. Third party counter stamps are mostly used on silver coinage to vouch for weight and fineness. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were to guess, I would say that because these copper 10 cash coins were overproduced during the late-Qing Era, they probably lost purchasing power during the chaos of the 1911 Revolution and Warlord Era.
