Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Mithqual - Xuantong (Ka Shen; normal Wu; flower at centre) 1329 (1911) coin from Sinkiang Province is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Xuantong Emperor, who ruled from 1908 to 1912, was the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, and his reign marked the end of over two thousand years of imperial rule in China. The coin's mintage in 1911, specifically, coincided with the Xinhai Revolution, which led to the establishment of the Republic of China and the eventual abdication of the Xuantong Emperor. This historical context adds significance to the coin and makes it a fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts.
