Interesting fact
The 20 Fen coin from Fengtien Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in China. The Guangxu 41 (1904) era was a period of political upheaval, with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. Despite this, the coin still features the traditional Chinese design of a dragon on one side and the value and emperor's name on the other. This coin is a unique piece of history that showcases China's rich cultural heritage and its transition into modernity.
