Interesting fact

The 2 Jiao / 20 Cents coin from Kwangsi Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver weighing 5.30 g has a unique feature. It has a wreath on both sides of the coin, which is not common in most coins. The wreath on the obverse (front) side surrounds the Chinese characters "大清廣西通寶" (Da Qing Guang Xi Tong Bao), which means "Great Qing Guangxi Province Coin," while the wreath on the reverse (back) side surrounds the denomination "2 Jiao / 20 Cents." This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the same era and region.
