Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, 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 combination of weights and denominations, is a rare and valuable piece for collectors of Chinese numismatics.
