Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 10 Cash - Guangxu ("KIANG-SI"; without 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 "broad," while the reverse side features a stylized image of a dragon, which is a common motif in Chinese culture. However, the dragon is depicted in a more Westernized style, with a streamlined body and a pair of wings, which is unusual in traditional Chinese art. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the late Qing dynasty, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
