| Additional information |
Struck in the final months of the Qing dynasty, this Board of Revenue issue came as the Wuchang Uprising of October 1911 was already unraveling imperial authority across the provinces. The Board of Revenue Mint in Beijing — the central government's own facility — was among the last to keep producing coin in the emperor's name as regional mints defected or shut down entirely. Xuantong coinage from this terminal year survives in reasonable quantities, suggesting production continued into late 1911 despite the political collapse already underway.
