Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of both Buddhist and traditional Chinese symbols. On one side, it has an image of the Buddha, while on the other, it features the Chinese character for "cash" or "money" in seal script. This blending of religious and financial symbols reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of medieval China.
