Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China, as the Qing dynasty was coming to an end and the Republic of China was being established. This coin, minted in the Sinkiang Province, represents a unique moment in Chinese history, as it was one of the last coins minted under the Qing dynasty and was also one of the first coins to feature the new Republican government's currency.
