| Additional information |
Xuantong was three years old when he ascended the throne in late 1908, and the Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing struck these cash pieces during what proved to be the final two years of Qing coinage production. The dynasty collapsed in February 1912, but minting had effectively wound down well before the abdication — making the production window for this type genuinely narrow.
The "small type" designation distinguishes it from a contemporaneous larger striking, a distinction Hartill codifies precisely because both circulated simultaneously from the same mint.
