Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Fen - Guangxu (Four characters; large dragon) ND (1903-1908) coin from Fukien Province is that it features a unique dragon design on the reverse side, which is different from the usual dragon designs found on other Chinese coins of the time. The dragon on this coin is depicted with a more curved and fluid shape, giving it a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from other coins in the series. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
