Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1910 Xuantong "Spring Dollar" coin from Yunnan Province is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional Chinese dragon or phoenix, this coin features a picture of a beautiful woman in traditional Chinese clothing, surrounded by cherry blossoms. This design was meant to symbolize the arrival of spring and the beauty of the season.
