Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Fen - Guangxu (Four characters; large dragon) ND (1903-1908) coin from Fukien Province is that it features a unique dragon design on the reverse side, which is different from the usual dragon designs found on other Chinese coins of that era. The dragon on this coin is depicted in a more naturalistic style, with detailed scales and a dynamic pose, giving the impression of movement and power. This distinctive design makes the coin stand out among other coins of the same period and denomination.
