Comment
This type (and all from its series) is only known by patterns.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Fen - Xuantong (Pattern; copper) ND (1910) from Empire of China made of Copper weighing 8.50 g is that it features a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the Guangxu Emperor, while the reverse side features a dragon and a pearl, which are symbols of good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. This blend of East and West design elements reflects the influence of Western culture on China during the late Qing period and adds to the coin's historical significance and collectibility.
