Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Cash - Guangxu (Pattern; copper-nickel) ND (1903) from Chekiang Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper-nickel is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Guangxu Emperor in a traditional Chinese dragon robe, while the reverse side features a Western-style wreath surrounding the denomination and year of issue. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the late Qing dynasty, and adds to the coin's historical and numismatic significance.
