Description
Hupeh (Hubei ) is a landlocked province in central China. Wuhan is the capital.
The Chinese government started buying Western coin presses toward the end of the 19th century. The bureaucracy was a hybrid of decentralized and centralized systems. Local mints had some autonomy, which they expressed in their coinage designs.
