Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 9 Qian (Bullion coinage; Changsha Chien-Yi Firm) ND (1908) from Hunan Province made of Silver weighing 32.80 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in China. The coin was produced in the midst of the Boxer Rebellion, a period of anti-foreigner sentiment and violence that swept across China in the early 1900s. Despite the turmoil, the coin remains a valuable piece of Chinese numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage.
