<p>[QUOTE=&quot;weifin, post: 742131, member: 20003&quot;]The Chinese coin says it is to commemorate the beginning of the country &quot;kai guo ji nian&quot; and that it is the Republic of China. The beginning of the republic is taken as 1911 but the issue of this coin was later. Was a posting about it about a month or so ago under search for Taiwan.&nbsp; Have seen it on some Chinese web sites and is probably in Krause. Not sure what the 10 wen means. Tried to see if &quot;wen&quot; was a measure for currency but haven&#039;t found anything, yet. Will do a Chinese search later to see what comes up when I translate it in the google translation engine. If I find anything, I&#039;ll post another time. &quot;wen&quot; usually means &quot;literature&quot; or &quot;literary.&quot; Would think it is the first coinage of the republican era but can&#039;t say that with any authority.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
