Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Yuan - Guangxu 40 (1903) from Fengtien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver (.850) weighing 26.40 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu period, which spanned from 1875 to 1908, saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin was minted in 1903, just a few years before the fall of the Qing dynasty, and its design reflects the influence of Western styles and technologies that were being adopted in China at the time. Despite the changes that were taking place, the coin still features traditional Chinese symbols and characters, highlighting the blending of old and new that was occurring in China during this period.
