Interesting fact
The 50 Fen coin from Guangxu 37 (1900) Kirin Province is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in China. The Guangxu period saw the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, and this coin was minted in the midst of that political upheaval. Additionally, the fact that it's made of silver and weighs 13.10g makes it a unique and valuable collector's item.
