Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a redesigned dragon, which is different from the traditional Manchu dragon that appears on many other Chinese coins from the same period. The redesigned dragon on this coin is considered to be more simplified and modernized, reflecting the influence of Western design styles during the late Qing dynasty.
