His reign was one of the most turbulent in Qing history, marked by multiple crises that weakened imperial authority. Internally, he faced massive uprisings, most notably the Taiping Rebellion, as well as the Nian, Miao, and other revolts. Externally, he confronted Western powers during the Second Opium War (1856–1860), which ended with the sacking of the Summer Palace and humiliating treaties that eroded Qing sovereignty. Struggling to manage the empire’s decline, Xianfeng retreated to Rehe (Jehol), where he died in 1861, leaving the throne to his young son, the Tongzhi Emperor. After his death, real power fell into the hands of the regents and the Empress Dowager Cixi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NumisMall.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50907044086075,"sku":"xv3507u-w76600","price":247.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0447\/1750\/6710\/files\/w76600.jpg?v=1768066256","url":"https:\/\/www.numismall.com\/products\/large-50-cash-of-emperor-xianfeng-1850-61-nanchang-mint-qing-china-h-22-935","provider":"NumisMall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
