Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Hunan Fu-Nan Monetary Bureau, which minted this coin, was established 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 political, economic, and social changes in China, and the production of this coin reflects the efforts of the new government to establish a modern monetary system.
