Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was minted in 1906, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw significant political, social, and economic upheaval, and the production of currency was one of the many areas affected by these changes. Despite these challenges, the Hunan Fu-Nan Monetary Bureau was able to produce a coin that has become a valuable collector's item today.
