Comment
These coins are sometimes reported as being slightly magnetic due to these pieces being cast from lesser quality bronze, containing up to 2% iron.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Jin Dynasty in ancient China, and it features a unique square hole in the center, which was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry multiple coins together easily.
