Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu ("KIANG-SI"; with mountain; Ku-Ping) 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 features the Chinese character "广" (Guang) meaning "wide" or "vast," while the reverse side features a mountain landscape with a pagoda on top, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This blend of traditional Chinese symbols with Western-style landscape design was a common feature of coins minted during the Guangxu period (1875-1908), reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during this time.
