The issuers for Hainan Province and Kwangtung Province in the catalogue have the incorrect flag. Both of these provinces were still part of the Republic of China when they issued currency and subsequently did not issue currency when they became part of the People's Republic of China. Thus, their flag should not be that of the People's Republic of China, but rather that of the Republic of China.

That's the same in all Chinese provinces, not in just these two: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/chinese_provinces-1.html

 

I presume that if an issuer doesn't have a flag, it just inherits the flag of the parent issuer, in this case, the PRC.

 

I have a recent, similar suggestion to fix the flags on the sub-issuers of the Chinese Empire, as the modern PRC flag looks weird beside medieval coins: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic173931.html

 

The flag situation in the Chinese provinces is a little bit more complex, as most of them has issues from the imperial times and from the early republican period too, when another flags were in use:

 

A flag carousel could be a solution, that shows these three flags one after another. Something like that's a couple of issuers already using (Western African States, for example).

I've just put together a gif from those three flags:

I did not realize this was also the case for other provinces. I wholeheartedly support your change request as well and thank you for the lovely gif - wonderful idea. 

I've created a new request to use that gif for all of the Chinese Provinces: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic174484.html

Thanks, I agree that the gif would be better solution, so I technically rejected this thread in favor of the thread next door.
