RE: 1896 Japanese One Yen Trade Dollar with Chinese chop marks

The extra nugget or two of information is appreciated. I'm already familiar with the broad strokes of the American economic strategy with China. But I would love find real personal stories of trade or what would One coin typically buy in products and services at the time.
The real intriguing stories are the pipeline to get silver coins from mainland China to Hong Kong's Economic zone, but I'd be exposing lives literally at risk and closing off the Western collector's source of chopped TD coins.
