Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in China. The Xuantong Emperor, who ruled from 1909 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 minting in 1909-1910 coincided with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, making it a unique piece of history.
