Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Yuan - Guangxu 24-25 (1898-1899) 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, was marked by the decline of the Qing dynasty and the rise of the Republic of China. This coin was minted during a time of political and social unrest, and its production was likely affected by the political and economic changes that were taking place in China at the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
