Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kangxi Tongbao coin is that it was the first coin in Chinese history to feature a portrait of the emperor, Kangxi, on the obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional Chinese coin design that featured a square hole in the center, and it signified the growing influence of Western culture in China during the Qing dynasty.
