Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Yuan (Tianjin) 15 (1889) coin from Chihli Province is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin features the Chinese characters "大清圓" (Da Qing Yuan) meaning "Great Qing Dynasty Circle," while the reverse side features a Western-style wreath surrounding the denomination "1 YUAN" in Chinese characters. This blend of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence of Western powers in China during the late Qing dynasty period.
