Interesting fact
The Guangxu (Hu Poo) coin was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China, as the country was transitioning from a traditional imperial dynasty to a modern republic. The coin's design reflects this change, as it features a blend of traditional Chinese symbols, such as the dragon and the phoenix, alongside more modern elements, such as the value of the coin in Chinese characters. This blending of old and new reflects the complexities of China's transition during this time period.
