“军政府造四川铜币”是辛亥革命时期的产物。1911年12月发生“成都兵变”，以尹昌衡、罗纶为正副都督的四川军政府取代了成立仅12天的大汉四川军政府。新的四川军政府成立之初即面临着需用日繁、度支日绌的财政困窘局面。军政府迅速接管了四川成都造币厂，决定铸造“四川铜币”以应急。民国元年（1912年）4月，四川成都造币厂奉四川军政府之命，开模铸造“军政府造四川铜币”（也称“汉”字铜元）。

"Sichuan copper coins made by the military government" was the product of the revolution of 1911. The "Chengdu mutiny" took place in December 1911. The Sichuan military government, with Yin Changheng and Luo Lun as the chief and deputy governors, replaced the Sichuan military government of the Han Dynasty, which was established only 12 days ago. At the beginning of the establishment of the new Sichuan military government, it was faced with the financial dilemma of increasing demand and reducing expenditure. The military government quickly took over the Sichuan Chengdu mint and decided to cast "Sichuan copper coins" as an emergency. In April of the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Chengdu Mint in Sichuan Province, at the order of the Sichuan military government, opened a mold to cast "Sichuan copper coin made by military government" (also known as "Han" character copper yuan).

四川铜币的主要作用是用来发军饷的，所以它具有军用货币和民用货币的双重职能。此币有5文、10文、20文、50文、100文五种面值，其中100文币极为罕见。而50文币铸造数量比较少，10文币铸造量最大。

The main function of Sichuan copper coins is to pay military salaries, so it has dual functions of military currency and civil currency. This coin has five denominations: 5 Wen, 10 Wen, 20 Wen, 50 Wen and 100 Wen, of which 100 Wen is extremely rare. However, the number of 50 Wen coins is relatively small, and the number of 10 Wen coins is the largest.

此组军政府造四川铜币，分别为当制钱五十文和当制钱壹佰文，正面文字为四川铜币四字，中间饰有海棠花纹，上缘书“军政府造”四字，下缘为当制钱五十文及当制钱壹佰文，标明了币值。左右各饰一朵花星纹。背面上缘分别有中华民国元年及中华民国二年六字。中央有一个圈，圈中书以一个篆文“汉”字。圈外环绕有十八个小圈，代表当时十八个省份，十八个圈围绕“汉”字，寓意十八省人民团结起来共同为“驱逐鞑虏，恢复中华”而战斗。它带有辛亥革命那一时期鲜明的时代印记，见证了那一段波澜壮阔的民国历史！其中当制钱壹佰文，版本尤为特殊，正面与反面有约40度左右的错位，是在铸造的过程当中形成的一个刚性错版，按说这么严重的错版币是不应该流通到民间来的，不知道当时出于一种什么样的情况而流通到民间来了，图案文字清晰、基本无磨损，表面平整光洁，边缘无明显撞击痕迹等，绝对算得上是错版币中之精品。

This group of Sichuan copper coins were made by the military government, which were 50 Wen and 100 Wen respectively. On the front side, there were four characters of Sichuan copper coins with Begonia pattern in the middle. The upper margin was "made by the military government" and the lower margin was the 50 Wen and 100 Wen respectively, indicating the currency value. The left and right sides are decorated with a flower star pattern. On the back, there are six characters in the first year of the Republic of China and the second year of the Republic of China. There is a circle in the center, in which there is a seal character "Han". There are 18 small circles around the circle, representing the 18 provinces at that time. The 18 circles around the word "Han" mean that the people of 18 provinces unite to fight for "expelling Tartars and restoring China". It bears the distinctive time mark of the period of the revolution of 1911 and witnessed the magnificent history of the Republic of China! Among them, when making 100 Wen coins, the version was particularly special. There was a 40 degree dislocation between the front and the back, which was a rigid wrong plate formed in the process of casting. It is said that such a serious wrong edition coin should not be circulated to the people. I don't know what kind of situation it was in circulation at that time. The patterns and characters were clear, basically no wear and tear, and the surface was smooth and smooth, There are no obvious impact marks on the edge, which can be regarded as the best product in the wrong edition currency.
