Comment
DocTongHeadInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Daoguang (Tongbao; Boo-su) ND (1821-1849) from Empire of China made of Brass weighing 3.35 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Daoguang Emperor's reign, who was known for his efforts to modernize China and open it up to foreign trade. Despite his efforts, the coinage during his reign was still made of brass, which was a less valuable metal than other metals used in coinage at the time, such as silver or gold. This highlights the economic challenges that China faced during this period, as well as the emperor's efforts to improve the country's economic situation.
