Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and English characters. The denomination "10 Cash" is written in English, while the reign title "Guangxu" is written in Chinese characters. This blend of languages reflects the cultural exchange and influence of Western powers in China during the late Qing dynasty.
