Comment
While these coins say Guangxu on them, these were actually made from previously unused dies, struck at various times between 1911 and 1949 with a progressively reduced silver content. All listed dates and silver contents are approximations.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Yuan (Guangxu restrike) ND (1911-1922) from Yunnan Province made of Silver weighing 26.86g is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins bearing his name. However, his reign was marked by political instability, foreign invasion, and the fall of the Qing dynasty. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history.
