This is a 100-Cash copper coin issued in AD 1928 (Republic of China Year 17) after the Nationalist Government successfully unified China through the Northern Expedition. Han Fuju, who was appointed Governor of Henan Province upon the recommendation of Feng Yuxiang, modified the Double Flag copper coin originally issued during the Beiyang Government period and authorised its issuance.

The obverse of the coin follows the Beiyang era design, featuring soybean leaves, wheat ears, and a twelve-petal chrysanthemum as decorative elements within the beaded circle. Outside the beaded circle, six-petal floral motifs are placed on both the left and right sides as separators. The upper edge bears the Chinese inscription of the national title, “中華民國” (Republic of China), while the lower edge displays the denomination, “當百文銅元” (100-Cash copper coin).

The reverse of the coin features a pair of knotted flags adorned with floral decorations on both sides. Following the Nationalist Government’s declaration of national unification, the original Five-Coloured Flag and Beiyang Army Flag were replaced with the Blue Sky, White Sun, and Red Earth National Flag and the Kuomintang (KMT) Party Flag, both used by the Nanjing government. The upper edge of the coin bears the province name in English, “HO-NAN” (Henan), while the lower edge displays the denomination, “100 CASH.”

這是一枚民國17年 (公元1928年)，國民政府成功北伐統一全國後，經由馮玉祥推舉擔任河南省主席的韓復榘，以北洋政府時期發行的雙旗銅幣稍作更改，發行之面額100文銅幣。

錢幣正面沿襲北洋時代的版型，珠圈內部以豆葉、麥穗和十二瓣菊花作為裝飾。珠圈外的左右兩側以六瓣花飾作為分界，上緣以漢字打印國號「中華民國」，下緣則是面額「當百文銅元」。

錢幣背面是兩側以花朵裝飾的打結旗幟，隨著南京國民政府宣告全國統一，原先打印在錢幣上的五色國旗和北洋陸軍旗，更改為南京使用的青天白日滿地紅國旗和中國國民黨黨旗。錢幣上緣以英文標示省名「HO-NAN」(河南)，下緣則是面額「100 CASH」。
