Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique flower design on the reverse side, which is not commonly found on other coins from the same era. This flower design is believed to represent the "TSING-KIANG" (or "Qingjiang" in modern Chinese) flower, which is a type of magnolia flower that is native to China and is known for its beauty and fragrance. The inclusion of this flower design on the coin may have been a way to symbolize the prosperity and growth of the city of Chingkiang, which was a major commercial center in the Kiangsu Province during the late Qing dynasty.
