Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu 42 (1905) from Kiangnan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper weighing 7.40 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu period, which spanned from 1875 to 1908, was marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin was minted in 1905, just a few years before the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, which would ultimately lead to the overthrow of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of a new government. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history.
