The Ministry of Revenue mint in Beijing produced this issue in the final years before the Xinhai Revolution ended two millennia of imperial rule. Xuantong was the reign title of Puyi, who ascended the throne at age two in 1908 — meaning this coin was authorized under a child emperor whose regents were already negotiating a dynasty in visible collapse. The Manchu inscription variant tracked here as Y#20t.2 reflects one of several die combinations produced as the Beijing facility struggled to standardize output against provincial mints flooding the market with their own cash issues.
