Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 6 Qian (Bullion coinage; Hunan Fu-Nan Monetary Bureau) ND (1906) from Hunan Province made of Silver weighing 21.40 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The coin was produced in 1906, just a few years before the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw significant political, social, and economic changes in China, and the coin's production reflects the country's efforts to modernize and adapt to these changes.
