Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Fen coin from Hupeh Province is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins with his own name and title, "Pen Sheng." This coin is a rare example of a coin issued during his reign, which lasted from 1875 to 1908.
