Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Daoguang (Tongbao; Boo-nan) ND (1821-1838) from Empire of China made of Brass is that it was used as a form of currency during the Daoguang Emperor's reign, and it was the first coin to feature the emperor's name and title on the obverse side, which was a departure from the previous coins that featured only the reign title. This coin was also the first to use the "Tongbao" (通寶) mintmark, which means "standard currency" in Chinese.
