Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 6 Qian (Bullion coinage; Hunan Official Monetary Bureau) ND (1906) from Hunan Province made of Silver weighing 21.40 g is that it was issued during a time of great economic change in China. The coin was minted in 1906, just a few years after the fall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This period saw a shift from traditional silver-based currency to modern, paper-based currency, and the 6 Qian coin represents a unique moment in the transition. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Hunan Province, which has a rich cultural and historical heritage, adds to its interest and value.
