Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, who was the only emperor of the Qing dynasty to issue coins with his own name and era title, "Guangxu", which means "glorious succession". This coin is a rare example of a coin issued during his reign, which lasted from 1875 to 1908.
