Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mithqual - Guangxu (Kashgar; Guang Xu Yin Yuan; without wreath) 1310 (1892-1893) coin from Sinkiang Province is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu Emperor, who ruled from 1875 to 1908, was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins without the traditional wreath surrounding the dragon on the reverse side. This design change was a result of the influence of Western ideas and technologies, which were being introduced to China during this time. The coin's unique design makes it a valuable collector's item for those interested in the history of Chinese currency.
