Comment
There are two minor variants of this coin: a so-called heavy coin (8 fen or over 2.8 g, minted from 1890 to 1895) and a so-called light coin (7 fen or under 2.8 g, minted from 1895 to 1899).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of significant political and economic change in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, and his reign saw the introduction of a number of modernizing reforms, including the adoption of Western-style currency. This coin, with its blend of traditional Chinese design and Western-style metallurgy, reflects the cultural and economic shifts that were taking place in China during this period.
