Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and upheaval in China, as the Qing dynasty was coming to an end and the Republic of China was being established. The coin's design, featuring a stylized dragon and the Chinese characters for "2 Qian," reflects the blending of traditional Chinese motifs with modernizing influences.
