Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between China and other regions, including Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. This is evident in the coin's design, which features a mix of Chinese characters and Buddhist symbols, reflecting the spread of Buddhism and other cultural influences during this period.
