Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Tael - Guangxu (Bullion coinage; pattern; white metal) 10 (1884) from Kirin Province (Chinese provinces) made of White metal is that it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. The coin was minted in 1884 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly valuable among collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of white metal, which is a less common material for coins, adds to its uniqueness and rarity.
