Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Mithqual - Xuantong coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political 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 minting in 1910, just two years before the fall of the Qing dynasty, makes it a unique piece of history that reflects the turmoil and transformation of the time.
