Interesting fact
The 50 Fen coin from Kirin Province (now known as Jilin Province) during the Guangxu period (1901-1905) is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a symbol of the province's wealth and prosperity. Additionally, the coin's design featured the Chinese characters "广" (Guang) and "历" (Li), which represent the province's name and the era in which it was minted. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the rich cultural heritage of China during the late Qing dynasty.
