Comment
MintIliInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the Xianfeng Emperor's reign, who was the seventh emperor of the Qing dynasty and ruled from 1850 to 1861. This coin was part of a series of reforms he implemented to address the economic challenges faced by China during that time, including the issuance of new currency to replace the old system of bartering and the use of foreign currencies. The Xianfeng Emperor's reforms aimed to promote economic growth and stability in China, and this coin is a tangible representation of those efforts.
