Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qian coin from Hunan Province is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in China. The coin was produced in 1906, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw significant economic growth and modernization, as well as the introduction of new currency systems and technologies. Despite the changes, the 1 Qian coin remained an important part of everyday commerce in Hunan Province, and its design and production reflect the blending of traditional Chinese motifs with modern influences.
