Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, who was the only son of the Xianfeng Emperor and had ascended to the throne at the age of two. However, he died at the age of 37 without an heir, leading to the end of the Qing dynasty. Despite his short reign, the Guangxu Emperor's era saw significant changes in China, including the implementation of modernization reforms and the opening of the country to foreign trade and influence.
