Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu ("KIANG-SI") ND (1902) from Kiangsi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a dragon, which is a traditional Chinese symbol, while the reverse side features a portrait of Guangxu, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, in a Western-style crown and robes. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the late Qing period in China.
