Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was issued in 1914, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The coin's design features Yuan Shikai, who was the first president of the Republic of China and played a key role in the country's transition from a monarchy to a republic. Despite the coin's significance, it was not widely circulated and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
