Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in China, known as the "Warring States" period, where various factions and regional warlords were vying for power and control. Despite this, the Hunan Branch of the Imperial Bank was able to mint coins like this 7 Qian, which shows the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Hunan Province during that time.
