Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of significant political and economic change in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, and his reign saw the introduction of a number of modernizing reforms, including the adoption of Western-style currency. This coin, which was minted between 1880 and 1886, features a unique blend of traditional Chinese design elements and Western-style numismatic techniques, reflecting the cultural exchange and transformation that was taking place in China during this period.
