Interesting fact
The Honghua (Tongbao) coinage was a significant innovation in the history of Chinese currency, as it was the first time a standardized coinage system was introduced in China. Prior to this, various regions and dynasties had their own unique coinage systems, which often made trade and commerce difficult. The Honghua coinage was introduced by the Great Zhou dynasty (Dynastic rebels) in 1679 and was made of brass, weighing 3.29 grams. This standardization of coinage helped to facilitate trade and commerce across different regions in China and paved the way for the development of a unified currency system in the future.
