Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Jiao - Guangxu coin is that it is a rare mule coin, meaning it was minted with a combination of dies not normally used together. This coin features the obverse die of the silver dollar and the reverse die of the copper coin, resulting in a unique and highly sought-after variation among collectors.
