Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin, minted in 1904-1905, represents a transitional period in Chinese history, as the country shifted from a traditional imperial system to a modern, republican form of government.
