Interesting fact
The 20 Fen coin from Kirin Province (now known as Jilin Province) during the Guangxu period (1900-1905) is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a symbol of the province's wealth and prosperity. Additionally, the coin's design featured the Chinese characters "奉天通寶" (Fengtian tongbao), which translates to "Fengtian currency," indicating that it was issued by the Fengtian government. This coin is a unique piece of history that showcases the economic and political landscape of China during the late Qing dynasty.
