1 Cash - Chongqing Tongbao ND

The Great Jin (Tatar dynasties) was a short-lived dynasty that ruled over parts of northern China in the early 13th century. Despite its brief existence, the dynasty managed to issue a number of coins, including the 1 Cash - Chongqing (Tongbao) ND (1212) coin made of bronze. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Mongolian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the Chinese characters " tong bao" (meaning "circulating treasure"), while the reverse side features a Mongolian-style horse and rider, reflecting the influence of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of northern China at the time. This blending of cultural styles is a fascinating example of how different cultures can come together and influence each other's art and currency.
