I stopped at my local coin shop the other day looking for some foreign silver. Well I cleaned him out the last time I was there so I bought the box of foreign coins he had for $50 about 7 lbs. Plus I picked up some nice banknotes he had. Well I have purchased the coins from him in the past and usually find a few silver coins in it. This time was no exception. I found 2 Mexican silver (30%), 1 UK (50%) 1 Japanese (60%), 1 France (825%), I also found a 1933 20 Mils British Palestine coin, which just about paid for the whole lot.
Not a bad find

| Ok, I see the 1858. But it seems like there is an awful lot of flatting on the date compared to the rest of the field. Yes it is what VG at best! Also, what is on the bottom of the one. I am not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, just trying to understand how this got smushed and not the rest of the field. |

I was reading that it was a puppet state. Maybe I was wrong in naming this a puppet currency. Here is what I was reading.
The Chung Hwa Book Co. 'Tripod Vessel' issues of 1936 and 1937
#8203;
Type 1 (Krause SCWPM P 211a, Smith & Matravers C300-92a).
Signatures:
Li Jue (General Manager) - HH Kung (Governor)
#8203;The 1936 1 Yuan (P 211) and 1937 5 and 10 Yuan notes portraying Dr Sun Yatsen on the front, are the only Chinese government notes (or any Republican period notes) to ever depict Confucius himself; in the back image in which he is shown meeting Lao Tzu, and this is based on an ancient stone relief. #8203;The image to the left is a detail of a nineteenth-century woodblock copy of part of this stone (tomb) relief from the Wu shrines in Jiaxiang county, Shandong province. This depicts a mythical meeting between Confucius and the legendary founder of Daoism, Lao-Tzu, and dates from the Second century A.D.
The Japanese occupiers however used portraiture of Confucius on many occasions in the issues of their puppet banks: the Federal Reserve Bank of China and the Central Bank of Manchukuo; a hollow gesture at appeasing and ingratiating their dubious currency with a hostile and oppressed populace.
#8203;The tripod vessel is said to be an ancient symbol of authority and unity, and is used here to represent the three ideals of "nationalism, democracy and people's livelihood," as stated by Dr Sun Yatsen.
1 Yuan of 1936 - #24180;#20116;#21313;#20108;#22283;#27665;#33775;#20013;
Orange. (front) ancient Shan bronze tripod vessel at left, archaic coin images in the borders, and, Sun Yatsen at right. (back) meeting between Confucius and Lao Tzu, an image taken from an 1800yr old stone relief.
See above for further details of the imagery depicted on the note.
Printer: Chung Hwa Book Co. Ltd, Shanghai.
