Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu (Foo-Kien Custom) ND (1901-1905) from Fukien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper weighing 7.31 g is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin features the Chinese character "广" (Guang), which means "wide" or "broad," while the reverse side features a stylized image of a dragon, which is a common symbol in Chinese culture. However, the dragon is depicted in a more Westernized style, with a pair of wings and a long, curved tail, which is not typically seen in traditional Chinese art. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between China and the West during the late Qing dynasty period.
