Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in China. The Xuantong Emperor, who ruled from 1908 to 1912, was the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, and his reign saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin, minted in the Manchurian Provinces, is a rare example of a coin that was produced during this tumultuous period in Chinese history.
