Comment
This is the first recorded use of a period title on a coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great political and social change in China, as the Sixteen Kingdoms period was marked by constant warfare and the rise and fall of various kingdoms. Despite this instability, the coin remained a standard form of currency throughout the period, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce during this time.
