Product Description
Add a complex and historically significant WWII-era Asian numismatic artifact to your collection with this Year 31 (1942) China Provisional Government Fen. Struck during the Second Sino-Japanese War under the de facto control of the Japanese occupation administration in North China, these coins serve as stark reminders of a turbulent period in modern world history.
Key Highlights:
-
Wartime Historical Context: Issued by the collaborationist Provisional Government established by Japan in northern China (headquartered in Beijing/Peking), capturing a dark and heavily contested chapter of 20th-century Asian history.
-
Choice Mint State Grade (MS 62): Certified in Mint State 62 condition, retaining original mint brilliance and crisp details across the occupation-era designs despite the typically crude manufacturing quality of wartime coinages.
-
Numismatic Scarcity: Because many occupation issues were heavily circulated, melted down, or discarded following the end of WWII, high-grade certified specimens are scarce and sought-after by specialized historians and world coin collectors.
