Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Fen - Guangxu 33 (1907) coin from the Manchurian Provinces is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The Guangxu Emperor ruled from 1875 to 1908, a period marked by the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This coin, minted in 1907, represents a transitional period in Chinese history, as the country shifted from an imperial dynasty to a modern, republican government.
