Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Guangxu (Tongbao; Boo-jiyen; with dot) ND (1886-1900) from Empire of China made of Brass is that it was designed by a French engraver named Jean-Antoine Bovy, who was commissioned by the Chinese government to create a new coinage system for the country. Bovy's design featured a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Western elements, and the coin was minted in several different variations, including this brass version, which was used for circulation. Despite its relatively low denomination, the coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
