1 Yuan - Guangxu Token coinage; copper ND

One interesting fact about the Token 1 Yuan - Guangxu (Token coinage; copper) ND (1904) from Fengtien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in China. The coin was minted in 1904, during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins in his own name. This coin was part of a series of reforms aimed at modernizing China's economy and currency system, which had been largely based on silver until that point. The use of copper for this coin was a departure from the traditional use of silver and was intended to increase the supply of small denomination coins in circulation. Despite these efforts, the coinage reform was ultimately unsuccessful, and the Qing dynasty was overthrown in 1911. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, serving as a reminder of a pivotal moment in Chinese history.
