Comment
Small sized coins (with a diameter less than 23 millimetres and weight usually less than 3 grams) are most likely contemporary counterfeits.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong of Jin, who ruled from 1178 to 1189. During his reign, the Jin dynasty was known for its military campaigns against the neighboring Song dynasty, and this coin may have been used to finance those efforts. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique combination of Chinese characters and Tatar symbols, reflecting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during this period of history.
