Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, and during his reign, China was facing internal strife, foreign invasion, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the government continued to mint coins, including the 10 Fen coin made in Tai Province, which is now a rare and valuable collector's item.
