Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins without the traditional flower symbol on the reverse side. This coin, minted in 1905, features the inscription "CHING KIANG" (清江) on the reverse side, indicating that it was minted in the city of Chingkiang (now known as Jingjiang) in Kiangsu Province.
