Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Islamic elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the Arabic inscription "السلام عليكم" (meaning "peace be upon you") along with the Chinese characters for "Guangxu" and "Mithqual," indicating the fusion of cultures and religions in the region where the coin was minted.
