Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Yuan - Guangxu (Five characters) ND (1899) from Fukien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.00 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin was minted in 1899, just a few years before the turn of the century and the end of the Qing dynasty, making it a unique piece of history.
