Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Xiangfeng Emperor, who ruled China from 1850 to 1861. This was a time of great turmoil in China, marked by internal strife, foreign invasions, and the Opium Wars. Despite these challenges, the Xiangfeng Emperor was known for his efforts to modernize China and promote economic development, which is reflected in the minting of coins like this one.
