Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu ("KIANG-SI PROVINCE") ND (1902) from Kiangsi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Bronze weighing 7.62 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 "expansive," while the reverse side features a stylized image of a dragon, which is a symbol of power and good luck in Chinese culture. This blending of Eastern and Western design motifs reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the late Qing dynasty, a time of significant social, political, and economic change in China.
