Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Fen coin from Szechuan Province is that it was minted during the Guangxu period (1898-1908) and features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical significance of the region. The coin's obverse side features the Chinese character "广" (Guǎng), which means "wide" or "vast," and is a reference to the province's expansive territory. The reverse side of the coin features a stylized image of a dragon, which is a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
