Interesting fact
The 10 Fen coin from Kirin Province (now known as Jilin Province) during the Guangxu period (1898-1907) is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a sign of the province's economic prosperity and its connection to the silver trade routes. Additionally, the coin's design featured the Chinese characters for "Kirin Province" and "10 Fen," which made it unique among other coins circulating in China during that time.
