In the Qing Dynasty, currency, paper money, and copper coins were issued in parallel, and new silver dollars were issued during the Jiaqing period, while more gold and silver coins were minted during the Guangxu period. The western movement also affected the mint industry. In 1889, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, set up a mint in Guangdong to mint silver dollars. In the center of the coin is the Chinese character "Guangxu Yuanbao", which was initially circulated only in Guangdong, Fujian, Tianjin and other places, and later flourished in Shanghai, which was the beginning of China's self-minting of modern silver dollars.
