Interesting fact
The Guangxu (Copper) ND (1903-1905) coin from Szechuan Province is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in China. The Guangxu period saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, and this coin was minted during a time of political and social upheaval. Additionally, the coin was made of copper, which was a common material for currency at the time, but is now a valuable collector's item.
