This is a brass coin with a denomination of 200 cash, minted in the second year of the Republic of China (AD 1913) by the Sichuan Mint.

The obverse of the coin features a beaded border, within which are two crossed five-coloured flags. This coin is referred to as the “Double Flag Coin” by the residents of Sichuan. Based on the style of the flag tassells hanging from the flagpoles, it can be further classified into two versions: “straight tassel” and “twisted tassel.”

This coin belongs to the “Straight Tassel Version,” characterised by its vertical, straight-hanging tassells.

On the outer sides of the beaded border, near the lower portion, there are two round dots. The upper edge is inscribed in English with the national name “THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA,” while the lower edge features the denomination “200 CASH.”

The reverse of the coin features a concentric circle enclosing the denomination “200 Cash” (貳百文) in Chinese characters, decorated with floral motifs and symmetrical wheat ears. On either side of the outer circle, there are four-petalled floral decorations acting as dividers. The upper edge is inscribed with the year of minting “中華民國二年” (the second year of the Republic of China), while the lower edge reads the minting unit “四川造幣廠造” (minted by the Sichuan Mint).

這是一枚民國2年 (公元1913年)，四川造幣廠鑄造的兩百文，材質為黃銅。

錢幣正面有一道珠圈，圈內是兩支交叉的五色旗，四川居民稱其為「雙旗幣」。依照懸吊在旗桿中間的旗纓樣式，能再細分為「直纓」和「曲纓」兩種版型，這枚錢幣屬於旗纓直直下垂的「直纓」版本。

珠圈的外圍兩側偏下方的位置各有一粒圓點，上緣以英文打印國名「THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA」(中華民國)，下緣則是面額「200 CASH」(兩百文)。

錢幣背面有一道同心圓，圓內以花草和對稱的麥穗裝飾漢字面額「貳百文」。圓圈外圍的左右兩側以四瓣花飾作為分界，上緣打印鑄造年份「中華民國二年」，下緣則是鑄造單位「四川造幣廠造」。
