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 coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to help standardize currency across different regions of China. The Xiangfeng Emperor's reign was marked by significant social and economic changes, including the Taiping Rebellion, which was a civil war that lasted from 1850 to 1864 and had a significant impact on China's economy and society. Despite the challenges of the time, the Xiangfeng Emperor's coinage reforms helped to establish a standardized system of currency that would be used for many years to come.
