Interesting fact

The Guangxu (Six Characters) 10 Cash coin from Hunan Province, made of copper, is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists. Its rarity is due to the fact that it was minted for a relatively short period of time, from 1902 to 1906, and many of the coins were melted down or destroyed over the years, making it even more scarce. As a result, it's considered a valuable addition to any collection of Chinese coins.
