Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins with his own name and title, "Guangxu", on the obverse. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued during his reign, and its unique design features the three characters "Boo-gi" on the reverse, which represents the Kirin Province where it was minted.
