Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 100 Cash - Xianfeng (Yuanbao; Boo-ji) ND (1855) from Empire of China made of Brass is that it was designed with a unique combination of Chinese and Western elements. The obverse features a traditional Chinese dragon, while the reverse bears the image of a Western-style crown, reflecting the influence of European design on Chinese coinage during the Qing dynasty. This blending of styles is a notable feature of the coin and a testament to the cultural exchange that occurred between China and Europe during this time period.
