Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The year 1924 was during the Republican period, which saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China.

The coin's design, featuring the Kuei dragon, is a nod to China's rich cultural heritage, while the use of silver as the material reflects the country's desire to modernize and adopt Western standards. This coin is a unique piece of history that captures the blending of traditional Chinese culture and modernization during a time of great change.
