Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Kwangsi Province, where the coin was minted, was a region of significant political and military activity during the late Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China. The coin's mintage period, 1919-1925, saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, as well as the rise of regional warlords and the Communist Party of China. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a standard circulation coin throughout this period, reflecting the province's continued economic and financial stability.
