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, and his reign saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin was minted during a period of political and social unrest, and its production was likely affected by the tumultuous events of the time. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage.
