Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Yuan - Guangxu (Pattern; circled dragon; silver) ND (1898) from Kiangnan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver is that it is a rare and highly sought-after coin among collectors due to its unique design and historical significance. The coin features a circled dragon on the obverse, which is a symbol of power and good luck in Chinese culture, and the reverse features the Chinese characters for "One Yuan" and "Kiangnan Province." The coin was minted during the Guangxu period (1875-1908), a time of great change and upheaval in China, and its production was limited, making it a valuable piece for collectors of Chinese numismatics.
