Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 50 Cash - Xianfeng (Zhongbao; Boo-su) ND (1854-1855) from Empire of China made of Brass weighing 47.68 g is that it was minted during the Xianfeng era, which was a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Xianfeng Emperor, who ruled from 1850 to 1861, was known for his conservative and isolationist policies, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and trade. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this era remained consistent, with the 50 Cash coin being one of the most widely used denominations.
