| Additional information |
The Manchurian provincial coinage of 1907 was produced as Qing central authority over the northeast was eroding fast — Russia had just been pushed out by Japan in 1905, and both powers were still maneuvering for commercial dominance in the region. A stable provincial silver coinage was as much a political statement about Qing administrative continuity as it was a practical monetary measure. The three Manchurian provinces — Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang — operated a shared mint at Fengtian for this series.
Y#210 is among the scarcer denominations of the issue by surviving population.
