China - Republic; 10, 20 cent and 1 yuan "Puyi Wedding commemoratives" [solved]

Hello,

Regarding these three coins:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces36344.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10362.html

They are attributed in Kann, and Krause (and consequently Numista) as circulating commemoratives for the wedding of the last (deposed) Qing Emperor of China, Puyi/Xuantong; however more and more sources I have come across question, contest or outright deny this attribution as erroneous.

Since we pride ourselves at not repeating Krause's mistakes, I would suggest removing the commemorative attribution from the coins' title and infobox altogether, and adding a note in each of their comments saying "Krause attributes this coin as a circulating commemorative for Puyi's 1923 wedding; supposedly created by monarchists, although this claim is dubious and unsubstantiated at best."
Hey,

There is already a comment on the first link related to that.

You can submit modification requests by adding this same comment to other ones and removing the commemorative part. I'll approve requests afterwards.
