Here is a Counterfeit imitating a Soviet 20 Cent piece. The Szechuan-Shensi Soviet is known for their 1 Yuan (Dollar) coins. This 2 Jiao (20 cents) follows the same pattern. The obverse side is the side with central lettering of the denomination (2 Jiao). Above is "Chinese Soviet Republic" with the mint name below. The reverse shows the typical globe & hammer/sickle design with the words "Unite, Proletariat of the World" w/date below as 'Year 1934'. I have another example in copper with the same design. While similar to the 20 cents of the Soviet Republic the design and characters vary. The edge is reeded and the obverse show clear double striking. See the copper one at: /photos/szechuan-shensi-2-jiao-1934-519/
