Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Fen Guangxu coin from Fukien Province is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in China. The Guangxu period (1875-1908) saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, and this coin was minted during a time of rapid modernization and Westernization in China. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low denomination made it a widely used and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions.
