Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Manchu design elements. The Manchu emperor Guangxu is depicted at the center of the coin, surrounded by traditional Chinese characters and motifs. This fusion of design styles reflects the complex cultural and political landscape of China during the late Qing dynasty, when the Manchu ruling class was struggling to maintain its power and influence in the face of growing internal and external pressures.
