Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the Guangxu era (1875-1908) of the Qing dynasty, which was a time of significant social, economic, and political change in China. The coin's design features the Chinese character " Zhong" (中) on the obverse, which means "central" or "middle," and the denomination "10 cash" on the reverse. The use of brass as the material for the coin was a common practice during this period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and durable metal. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history and a fascinating artifact from a time of great change and transformation in the country.
