Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Mithqual - Guangxu (Ration coinage) ND (1905) from Sinkiang Province made of Silver weighing 14.20 g is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of economic reform in China. The coin was introduced as part of the "ration coinage" system, which was implemented to address inflation and promote economic stability. The use of silver as the material for the coin was also significant, as it represented a shift away from the traditional use of copper in Chinese coinage.
