Interesting fact
The 5 Cash coin from Anhwei Province (Chinese provinces) made of Copper during the Guangxu period (1902) is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features a stylized dragon, which is a symbol of power and strength in Chinese culture, while the reverse side bears the inscription "庚子年 安徽省 五钱" (meaning "Guangxu year 5 Cash Anhwei Province"). This coin was minted during a time of great change in China, as the country was transitioning from a traditional imperial system to a modern republic. As such, coins like this one serve as a fascinating reminder of China's rich history and cultural heritage.
