Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor, 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 this era, and its unique design and silver content make it a valuable collector's item.
