1933/1934 Chinese Soviet Republic's Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet 1917 20 cash copper coin.
The coin's design, featuring the hammer and sickle symbol, identifies it as a communist issue, which was used as local currency in areas controlled by the Red Army.
The text on the coin translates to "Proletariats of the world, unite!" or similar slogans. The hammer and sickle represent the solidarity between industrial and agricultural workers.
A wonderful piece of 20th century Chinese and Russian history.
