Collection: Buyback Guangxu Yuanbao series

Guangxu Yuanbao are silver coins minted by various provinces during the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1875-1908). "Kuping Qiqian Erfen" was the main specification, and each province (such as Guangdong, Hubei, Sichuan, Jiangnan, Fengtian, Anhui, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Xinjiang, Jilin, etc.) independently minted them, resulting in a large variety of editions. Rare editions such as "Fengtian Guimao Yiliang," "Jiangnan Gengzi," and "Guangdong Qier Fanban" are highly sought after by coin collectors.
