More information is needed on Y#A7.4, which is said to have "Chu" on the obverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Guangxu Emperor, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins with his own name and title, "Guangxu", on the obverse. This coin, with its unique design and silver content, is a rare and valuable piece for collectors of Chinese numismatics.
