Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Cash - Guangxu (Pattern; with mountain; circled dragon) ND (1902) from Hupeh Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper (white) is a rare and valuable coin that is highly sought after by collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a circled dragon - which sets it apart from other coins of the same era. The dragon is a symbol of power and prosperity in Chinese culture, and its inclusion on the coin may have been intended to signify the prosperity and good fortune of the province of Hupeh. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin adds to its rarity and value, as copper was a valuable resource at the time.
