Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin, minted in 1907, was issued during a time of political upheaval and economic reform, as China was attempting to modernize and adapt to changing global economic systems. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history.
