Main article: Qing dynasty coinage

Kuanghsu Yuanpao Honan 1905.png thumb left Kuanghsu Yuanpao Honan 1905 A milled 10 cash coin from the Qing dynasty, minted in the province of Henan.

Late Imperial China maintained both a silver and a copper currency system. The copper system was based on the copper cash (wen). The silver system had several units which by the Qing Dynasty were: 1 tael = 10 mace = 100 candareens = 1000 lí (silver cash).

In 1889, the Chinese yuan was introduced at par with the Mexican peso and was subdivided into 10 jiao (角, not given an English name, cf. dime), 100 fen (分, cents), and 1000 wen (文, cash). The yuan was equivalent to 7 mace and 2 candareens (or 0.72 tael) and, for a time, coins were marked as such in English.

The earliest issues were silver coins produced at the Kwangtung mint in denominations of 5 fen, 1, 2 and 5 jiao and 1 yuan. Other regional mints were opened in the 1890s producing similar coins. Copper coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 wen were also issued. The central government began issuing its own coins in the yuan currency system in 1903. Banknotes were issued in yuan denominations from the 2019 by several local and private banks, along with the "Imperial Bank of China" and the "Hu Pu Bank" (later the "Ta-Ch'ing Government Bank"), established by the Imperial government.

However this has proven harder than one might think. --42.112.157.115 (talk) 05:15, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

I'll make an intermediate edit, have WP:GOODFAITH

Hayman30 I will now make an intermediate edit to History of Chinese currency in order to make the article better for the readers and follow WP:SEEALSO, all I ask of you is for once in your life to mean something to anyone (these people being the readers), and wait 2 minutes before reverting, try reading WP:GOODFAITH, and WP:CIVIL. I know that you hate mobile users for some unexplained reason as you never seem to explain anything and prefer to revert any attempt at conversation, but for once in your life don't have WP:BADFAITH. Actually try reading what people give as justification for their edits instead of just blindly reverting maybe then I wouldn't have to warn you before I even have to make another two time edit . Maybe if you've ever apologised for your bad reversions I wouldn't need to ping you every time before a serial edit. --42.112.157.115 (talk) 05:21, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Your upload

Placeholder omage

Thank you for uploading the attached file to this message, I really needed a better quality image coin to use for History of Chinese currency, but would you mind uploading a a picture of the obverse side (or reverse I never know with those coins) as well? It would be highly appreciated. --58.187.168.206 (talk) 06:43, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

You deserve this more than anyone.
