Comment
While these coins say Guangxu on them, these were actually made from previously unused dies, struck at various times between 1911 and 1949 with a progressively reduced silver content. All listed dates and silver contents are approximations.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Fen (Guangxu restrike) ND (1911-1949) coin from Yunnan Province made of Silver weighing 13.20 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in China. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, who ruled from 1875 to 1908, but the restrike was minted later, between 1911 and 1949, during the Republican period. This was a time of political upheaval, as the Qing dynasty was overthrown and the Republic of China was established. Despite the changes, the coin remained in circulation and was used as a means of exchange in Yunnan Province.
