Comment
Some examples have A S T C in the obverse field, in the four corners around the central ideograms.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Guangxu era, which was a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu emperor was known for his attempts to modernize and reform China, and this coin reflects that era's efforts to adopt Western-style currency and economic systems. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Anhwei Province adds to its historical significance, as Anhwei was an important region in China during that time.
