Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 9 Qian (Bullion coinage; Hunan Fu-Nan Monetary Bureau) ND (1906) from Hunan Province made of Silver weighing 32.80 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in China. The coin was produced during the late Qing dynasty, which was the last imperial dynasty of China, and it was a period of significant economic growth and modernization. The Hunan Fu-Nan Monetary Bureau, which minted this coin, was established in 1904 to produce silver coins for circulation in the province of Hunan, and it was one of several regional mints established during this time to help meet the growing demand for currency in China's rapidly expanding economy. Despite the changes and challenges of the time, the 9 Qian coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency for the people of Hunan Province, and it remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
