This is a 1-cent coin minted in the 25th year of the Republic of China (AD 1936) by the Central Mint, using copper as the base material.
The obverse of the coin features the emblem of the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) at its centre. Along the upper edge is the inscription “25th Era of Republic of China”. The outer rim is adorned with a key-pattern design, commonly found on ancient Chinese bronzeware.
The reverse of the coin features a key-pattern border like the obverse. At the centre is an image of a spade money, a form of currency used during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, which was also adopted by the Nationalist Government as the emblem of the Ministry of Finance. Inside the spade coin is the character “財” (finance) in an oracle bone script-inspired style. On either side of the spade coin, the denomination “壹分” (1 cent) is inscribed in Chinese characters.
