Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique dot marking on the reverse side, which is known as the "Ili dot" or "Tongbao dot." This dot was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued by the Ili region in Xinjiang, and it is a distinct feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
