Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Guangxu period, which was a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu period saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, and this coin was minted during a time of political and social turmoil. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a fascinating piece of Chinese history.
