Comment
These are attributed to Zhang Baoshan, who started a rebellion in Guizhou from 1860 to 1863.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Guizhou rebellion, which was a time of political unrest and upheaval in China during the late Qing dynasty. The rebellion was led by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a Christian-inspired movement that sought to overthrow the ruling Qing dynasty and establish a new, more just society. The coin's design and production were likely influenced by the political and social changes that were taking place at the time.
