Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins with his own name and title. This coin, in particular, was minted in the Sinkiang Province and features the Kuche (also known as Kangshui Ning) type, which was a local variety of the standard circulation coin.
