Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Yuan - Guangxu ND (1908) coin from the Empire of China is that it was the first coin to feature the portrait of a Chinese emperor, Guangxu, on its obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional Chinese coinage design that featured mythical creatures or symbols. The inclusion of the emperor's portrait signified a shift towards modernization and Westernization in China during the late Qing period.
