Interesting fact
The Fujian Tongbao 1 Cash coin from Fukien Province (now known as Fujian Province) was issued during the reign of Emperor Pu Yi, who was the last emperor of China and ruled from 1908 to 1912. This coin was part of a series of currency reforms implemented during his reign, which aimed to modernize China's currency system and reduce the use of traditional bartering systems. Despite the efforts to modernize, the coinage during this period was still made of brass, which was a common material for coins at the time. Today, coins like the Fujian Tongbao 1 Cash are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity.
