Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 30 Cash - Guangxu (Pattern; type 1; brass) ND (1904) from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Brass is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Guangxu Emperor in a traditional Chinese dragon robe, while the reverse side features a Western-style wreath surrounding the denomination and year of issue. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence of Western powers in China during the late Qing dynasty.
