Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the rise of the Republic of China. This coin, minted in 1903-1904, was issued during a time of political upheaval and economic instability, which is reflected in its design and the materials used to create it. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese history and a testament to the resilience of the Chinese people during times of change.
