Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the decline of the Qing dynasty and the rise of modernization and foreign influence in China. The coin's mintage in Aksu, Sinkiang Province, also reflects the diversity and complexity of China's regional currencies during this time.
