Interesting fact
The 1 Cash - Jiaxi (Tongbao) ND (1237-1240) coin from the Empire of China was made of bronze, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a square hole in the center, which was a unique design element for its time. This square hole was used to help distinguish the coin from other currencies and to make it easier to thread onto a string or cord for storage or display. This design feature has made the coin a popular collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in ancient Chinese currency.
