Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin dynasty, who was known for his military campaigns against the neighboring Song dynasty. Despite the conflicts, the coinage during this period remained consistent, with the 1 Cash coin being a standard issue for everyday transactions. Additionally, the crescent moon symbol on the coin signifies the Islamic influence on the Tatar dynasties during that time.
