Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Tang Dynasty, which was a time of significant cultural and economic growth in China. The coin's design features a square hole in the center, which was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry multiple coins together. This design also made it easier to stack and store the coins, making it a practical and efficient form of currency for everyday transactions.
