+ | The '''1 [[fen]] [[coin]]''' is a [[circulation]] coin that was issued in [[1940]], the 29th year of the [[wikipedia:Minguo calendar|Minguo calendar]], by the [[Reformed Government of the Republic of China]], a [[China|Chinese]] [[wikipedia:Provisional government|provisional government]] [[wikipedia:Puppet state|protected]] by the [[Empire of Japan]] during the [[wikipedia:Second Sino-Japanese War|Second Sino-Japanese War]]. Such a piece had a value equivalent to 0.01 [[Chinese yuan|yuan]] prior to its eventual [[demonetization]] in [[1941]]. It was distributed by the [[Hua Hsing Commerce Bank]], a financial agency established by the imperial Japanese government. In addition to the circulation pieces, at least three types of [[pattern coin|patterns]] were also produced. |

+ | The circulation coin is composed of [[bronze]], and like most coins, is round in [[shape]]. Featured in the center of the [[obverse]] is the [[wikipedia:Chinese language|Chinese]] character "[[wikt:蕐|蕐]]" ([[wikipedia:Pinyin|Pinyin]]: ''Huá''), signifying issuance by the Hua Hsing Commerce Bank. Below it is a pair of [[wikipedia:Wing|wings]]. Both of the aforementioned objects are enclosed within a circular border. Inscribed from right to left at the very top of the coin is the state title "國民華中" (Pinyin: ''Zhōnghuá Mínguó''; [[wikipedia:English language|English]]: "Republic of China"), and written in the same direction at the bottom of the piece is the date "年九十二" (Pinyin: ''Èrshíjiǔ nián''), essentially indicating the coin was minted in the 29th year of the Minguo calendar, which began in 1912 with the creation of the [[Republic of China (1912-1949)|Republic of China]] under [[wikipedia:President of the Republic of China|President]] [[wikipedia:Sun Yat-sen|Sun Yat-sen]] (1866–1925). Both legends are separated from each other by two [[wikipedia:Five-pointed star|five-pointed stars]], one at the left side of the obverse and the other at the right. Depicted in the middle of the [[reverse]] is a bundle of [[wikipedia:Rice|rice]] tied together by a ribbon at the stems. This illustration divides the two characters in the value "分壹" (Pinyin: ''Yī fēn''), which, like the text on the obverse, is written from right to left. |
[[Copper]], [[cupronickel]], and [[silver]] patterns of this coin were produced. They bear the same designs as the piece that circulated. |
