Comment
These are said to have been issued by Lin Kung during a rebellion that started in Fung Shan to meet the needs of the increasing military expenditures.Interesting fact
The 1 Tael (Ru Yi) ND (1853) silver coin from Taiwan Province (Chinese provinces) has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins bearing his name. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted, making it a sought-after piece among numismatists.
