Comment
Board of Revenue.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing dynasty, who ruled from 1796 to 1820. During his reign, the government attempted to reform the currency system, introducing new coins and demonetizing old ones, which led to a period of economic instability. Despite this, the 1 Cash coin remained a widely used denomination and was an important part of everyday transactions for the people of China during that time.
