Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and upheaval in China, specifically during the Tongzhi Restoration, a period of reform and modernization that took place during the late Qing dynasty. The coin's design and production were likely influenced by these changes, and it may have been used in transactions and trade during this time.
