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, 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 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.
