Interesting fact

The A Token 100 Cash - Guangxu (Token coinage; copper) ND (1904) from Fengtien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper is a rare and valuable coin that was issued during the Guangxu period (1875-1908) of the Qing dynasty. It is interesting to note that this coin was not officially issued by the Chinese government, but rather by local officials in the Fengtien Province as a means of addressing a shortage of small denomination currency. The coin's design features the Chinese character for "100" on one side and the Guangxu emperor's name on the other. Its value is estimated to be around $10,000 to $20,000, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
