Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The late Qing dynasty was facing numerous challenges, including internal strife, foreign invasion, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the Hunan Official Monetary Bureau continued to mint coins, such as this 7 Qian, which were used as a means of exchange and commerce. This coin is a tangible reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the Chinese people during a difficult period in their history.
