Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Fen - Guangxu (Made in Taiwan) ND (1893-1894) coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in China. The Guangxu Emperor was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to rule from Taiwan, and his reign was marked by efforts to modernize China and resist foreign influence. Despite these efforts, the Qing dynasty ultimately collapsed, and the Republic of China was established in 1912. The coin's mintage in Taiwan also reflects the complex history of Taiwan, which was annexed by the Qing dynasty in the late 17th century and later became a Japanese colony before being returned to China in 1945. Today, Taiwan is a sovereign state with its own government and economy, and its history continues to be a subject of debate and controversy.
