Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in China, specifically during the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901), which was an anti-foreigner movement that sought to expel foreign powers from China. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features the standard design of the Guangxu Emperor, indicating that some level of stability and continuity was maintained during this period.
