Interesting fact
The Xuantong coin is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in China. The Xuantong Emperor, who ruled from 1909 to 1912, was the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, and his reign marked the end of over two thousand years of imperial rule in China. The coin's design reflects this period of transition, as it features a blend of traditional Chinese motifs and modern European influences. Additionally, the coin was minted in copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but is now less common in modern currency. Overall, the Xuantong coin is a unique piece of history that offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in China's past.
