MintIliInteresting 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. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by the Emperor to replace the old system that had been in place since the 16th century. The new system was designed to combat counterfeiting and to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin was made of copper and had a standardized weight and size, which made it easier to use in everyday transactions.
