Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tael coin from Hunan Province is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The coin was produced in 1908, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw significant political, social, and economic changes in the country, and the coin's production reflects the tumultuous times in which it was minted.
