Comment
While these pieces were originally minted in 1911, 2'005'000 pieces were restruck (posthumously) in 1916 in debased silver.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Fen Xuantong coin from Kiangnan Province is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Xuantong Emperor ruled from 1908 to 1912, and his reign was marked by political instability, foreign invasion, and the fall of the Qing dynasty. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation until 1916, when it was replaced by the Republic of China currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in Chinese history.
