Hubei, whose capital Wuhan housed one of the most important mints in China, struck cash in large quantities, but examples preserved in Mint State with their original red are particularly rare. The presence of legends in English and Chinese reflects the forced opening of Imperial China to trade with the Western powers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugo Taittinger Numismatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57600940605771,"sku":"A718.14","price":643200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/0345\/3259\/files\/A718.14.png?v=1781688143","url":"https:\/\/taittingernumismatics.com\/en-jp\/products\/china-hupeh-10-cash-1902-1905-ngc-ms66-bn-top-pop","provider":"Hugo Taittinger Numismatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
