Bronze wares were very important in China's history. They were used for military purposes, musical instruments, mirrors, rulers and storage containers for food and drink. Further, bronze wares were also indicative of person's class or social stature. Laws stipulated that only royal family members could use all types and sizes of bronze wares with average person having limited access.
Many mints are producing these Chinese coins, but all these mints are located in the one of the four cities of the nation namely Shenyang, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing. Even they are produced in the United States, but they are following some US mintmarks to identify that they were produced in the US. However, there will not be any difference in the coins produced in different parts of China.
