Comment
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. The coin features the emperor's name, "Tongbao," in Chinese characters on one side, and the name of the region where it was minted, "Ili," on the other side. The coin also has a unique marking or symbol that distinguishes it from other coins of the same era. Additionally, it is made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time, and weighs 4.96 grams, which is relatively light compared to modern-day coins.
