Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins with his own name and title, "Guangxu", on the obverse. This coin, with its unique design and brass composition, is a rare and valuable piece for collectors of Chinese numismatics.
