The image shows a Chinese 5 Li coin from 1916, during the Republic of China era.

  • Denomination: 5 Li (釐), where 120 Li equaled 1 Yuan (圓).
  • Year: Year 5 of the Republic (1916).
  • Material: Likely made of a copper alloy, as precious metals were not commonly used for smaller denominations.
  • Obverse: Features Chinese characters indicating the denomination and year.
  • Reverse: Displays more Chinese characters.
  • Historical Context: This coin was issued during a period of transition and change in China, following the end of the Qing Dynasty.
  • Collector’s Item: Due to its age and historical significance, it is likely a collector’s item.
  • Design: The coin has a traditional Chinese design with a round shape and a central hole
