Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu ("KIANG-SI"; Manchu: Boo-chang; brass) ND (1902) from Kiangsi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Brass is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Manchu cultures in its design. The coin's obverse side features the Chinese character "广" (Guang), which means "wide" or "vast," while the reverse side features the Manchu character "ᠪᠪᠣᠪᠣᠣᠪᠣᠣᠨ" (Boo-chang), which means "treasure." This blend of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of China during the Qing dynasty, which ruled the country from 1644 to 1912.
