Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, and his reign saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin was minted during the Xuantong period, which lasted from 1906 to 1911, and it features the image of the Guangxu Emperor on one side and the value of the coin on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, this coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history.
