Interesting fact
The 1 Fen/1 Cent coin from Kwangsi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Brass, has a unique feature. The coin's reverse side features a stylized Chinese character for "kwang" which means "light" or "brightness." This character is surrounded by a circle of small dots, which gives the coin a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. This design element not only adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a symbol of the province's name and its rich cultural heritage.
