Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu ("KIANG-SEE PROVINCE"; Manchu: Boo-chang) ND (1902) from Kiangsi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Manchu inscriptions. The obverse side of the coin bears the legend "卅年余余寅余寅壬余寅壬寅余寅壬寅壬余寅壬寅壬寅余寅壬寅壬寅壬余寅壬寅壬寅壬寅" (30 years of Guangxu reign) in Chinese, while the reverse side features the Manchu inscription "ᠪᠪᠣᠪᠣᠣᠪᠣᠣᠨ ᠴᠴᠠᠴᠠᠩ ᠪᠪᠣᠪᠣᠣᠪᠣᠣᠨ" (Boo-chang province) surrounded by a wreath. This blend of languages and scripts reflects the cultural diversity of the region and highlights the complex history of China during the late Qing period.
