Comment
These coins were struck in 1898 and from 1901 to 1908; there appears to be no minting recorded from 1899 to 1900.Interesting fact
The 5 Fen coin from Szechuan Province (Chinese provinces) made of Silver (.820) weighing 1.30 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change and modernization in China, specifically during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor (1898-1908). This coin was part of a series of new currency introduced during this period, which aimed to replace the traditional Chinese cash coins with modern currency. The use of silver in the coin's production also reflects China's shift towards a silver standard during this time.
