Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China, known as the "Boxer Rebellion" or "Yihetuan Movement," which took place between 1899 and 1901. During this time, the Guangxu Emperor was forced to flee Beijing and the coin was minted in the Chihli Province (now known as Hebei Province) as a temporary solution to address the shortage of currency caused by the war. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Chinese history, reflecting a significant moment in the country's transition from an imperial dynasty to a modern republic.
