The 1st Congress of the Chinese Soviet proclaimed and established the "Chinese Soviet Republic" under the Chairmanship of Mao Tse-Tung. Never-the-less these are scarce and nice specimens are rare. I've updated the photo to show two examples, the bottom one with die cracks. Both examples show a small degree of clipping at around 12 o'clock.
From a Steve Album auction [Sale 44 lot# 1012]: CHINESE SOVIET REPUBLIC: AE fen, ND (1932), Y-506, CL-SWA.01, original strike, issue of the Kiangsi Soviet. The Chinese Soviet Republic is often referred to in historical sources as the Jiangxi Soviet (after its largest component territory, the Jiangxi-Fujian Soviet). It was established in November 1931 by future Communist Party of China leader Mao Zedong, General Zhu De and others, and it lasted until 1937.
