Interesting fact
The ½ Jiao coin from Fengtien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver weighing 1.20 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the Guangxu 25 (1899) period, which was a time of great change and upheaval in China, marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. Despite the political turmoil, the coin still maintains its value and rarity, making it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
