Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Xianfeng Cash coin is that it was produced during a time of significant economic and political change in China. The Xianfeng Emperor, who ruled from 1850 to 1861, implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing China's economy and government, including the introduction of new currency systems and the expansion of trade with foreign countries.
