Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mithqual - Guangxu (Ration coinage; without Arabic; gold) ND (1906-1907) from Sinkiang Province is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in China, specifically during the Boxer Rebellion. The coin was part of a series of "ration coins" issued by the government to address a severe shortage of small denominations, which had been exacerbated by the government's decision to ban the use of foreign currencies. Despite its turbulent origins, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
