Interesting fact
The Guangxu (Boo-gi) ND (1903) coin from Kirin Province is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the decline of the Qing dynasty and the rise of modernization and reform in China. This coin, made of copper and weighing 10.14 grams, was part of a series of currency reforms implemented during the Guangxu Emperor's reign, which aimed to modernize China's currency system and promote economic growth. Despite the changes, the coin still features traditional Chinese characters and designs, reflecting the cultural heritage of the time.
