| Additional information |
The Board of Revenue Mint at Guangzhou was one of several provincial facilities retooled during the Qing dynasty's late attempt to modernize its coinage infrastructure, shifting from cast to struck production in the final decade before the dynasty collapsed. This small-type cash represents that transitional moment — machine-struck to Western specifications yet denominated within a system already being abandoned by the public in favor of foreign silver and copper cents.
Circulated against a backdrop of currency chaos, these pieces were largely ignored by the market they were meant to serve.
