Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 30 Cash - Guangxu (Pattern; type 2; copper) ND (1904) from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of the Guangxu Emperor, while the reverse side features a traditional Chinese dragon surrounded by a wreath, which was a common motif in Western coinage at the time. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between China and the West during the late Qing period.
