Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong, who was the third emperor of the Jin dynasty and ruled from 1188 to 1208. During his reign, the Jin dynasty was known for its military campaigns against the neighboring Song dynasty, and the coinage of this period reflects the political and economic changes that were taking place in China at the time. The use of bronze as the material for this coin was also significant, as it was a common material for coins during this period and reflects the technological advancements in metallurgy that were taking place in ancient China.
