Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Jiao - Guangxu 48 (1911) from Fukien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver weighing 5.00 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, saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin was minted in 1911, just a year before the Xinhai Revolution, which overthrew the Qing dynasty and led to the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex and tumultuous history of China during this time period. It is a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage and the efforts of its people to adapt to changing political and social circumstances.
