Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1898 Guangxu 35 coin from Anhwei Province is that it features a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the Chinese characters "大清光緒三十五年" (Da Qing Guangxu 35 years), while the reverse side features a depiction of a dragon, which is a common motif in Chinese culture, surrounded by a wreath of flowers, which was a popular Western design element at the time. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that was taking place between China and the West during the late Qing period.
