Interesting fact
The Guangxu (Mule) 42 coin from Kiangnan Province is a rare and unique coin that features a mix of two different designs on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side features the standard Guangxu Emperor's portrait, while the reverse side features the "Mule" design, which is a combination of the Chinese characters for "one" and "zero," representing the coin's denomination of 10 cash. This coin is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists due to its unusual design and limited mintage.
