Interesting fact

The 10 Cashes coin from Kirin Province (now known as Jilin Province) in China, minted during the Guangxu period (1901) is made of copper. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a unique combination of traditional Chinese and Western elements, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence of the time. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a dragon, while the reverse side features the value of the coin in Chinese characters, surrounded by a wreath of flowers. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into China's rich numismatic history.
