Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Yuan - Guangxu ND (1908) from Yunnan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver (.900) weighing 26.86 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Guangxu period (1875-1908) saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, and this coin was minted in the midst of that political upheaval. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of China.
