| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts a coiled Chinese imperial dragon in high relief, rendered in the sinuous style typical of late Qing provincial coinage, shown in profile with scales, claws, and whiskers finely detailed, confronting a flaming pearl at center. The dragon is surrounded by stylized cloud and wave motifs at the base. The circumferential Latin legend HU-PEH PROVINCE arcs across the upper field, and ONE CASH appears in the lower field, all contained within a continuous beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Wuchang Mint was established in Hubei province under Zhang Zhidong's industrialization program in the 1890s, making it one of the first modern steam-powered mints on Chinese soil. By 1906, the Qing monetary reform effort was attempting to rationalize a chaotic multi-mint system where coins of wildly inconsistent weight and alloy circulated simultaneously — this issue was part of that ultimately unsuccessful standardization push.
Guangxu would be dead within two years, dying on November 14, 1908, one day before the Empress Dowager Cixi herself.
