Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin, minted in 1905, was issued during a time of political and social turmoil, and its production was likely affected by the political and economic changes that were taking place in China at the time.
