Comment
While Krause lists this type, confirmation is needed on if it actually exists. The legend of this type has four characters, which specifies the allow of "yellow copper". There are many examples of brass coins whose legends only say copper, so it is possible this "yellow copper" coin also comes in copper, in addition to brass.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu (Four characters; brass) ND (1903-1906) from Chekiang Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper 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, minted during the early years of the Guangxu period, represents a time of transition and transformation in Chinese history.
