Chinese struck coins come in a bewildering array of varieties, made even more bewildering if one attempts to look them up in Krause because there are so many of them the descriptions in Krause are often either missing or abbreviated to the point of being useless.
I have an old catalogue, "The minted ten-cash coins of China", compiled from articles written by A.M.T. Woodward in The China Journal in the 1920s and 1930s. This coin is Woodward die-pairing G-12, type number 989, rated as "common". The best match in my Krause for this variety is KM/Y# 301.5, although the coin pictured for KM/Y# 301.5 is actually Woodward# 990 (die pair G-13, also rated "common"), with a narrow gap between the words THE and REPUBLIC.
