Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Jiao - Guangxu 24 (1898) from Fengtien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver weighing 5.20 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu period, which spanned from 1875 to 1908, was marked by the decline of the Qing dynasty and the rise of modernization and Western influence in China. The coin's design, which features a traditional Chinese dragon on one side and the imperial seal on the other, reflects the blending of old and new cultural influences that characterized this time period.
