Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Fen - Guangxu (Pei Yang) 25 (1899) coin from Chihli Province is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the Guangxu Emperor, while the reverse side features a depiction of a dragon, which is a symbol of Chinese culture and mythology. However, the dragon is depicted in a more Westernized style, with a more realistic and detailed representation than is typically found in traditional Chinese art. This blending of styles reflects the influence of Western culture on China during the late Qing period, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of cultural history.
