Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kangxi Tongbao coin is that it was the first coin in Chinese history to feature the emperor's name, Kangxi, on the obverse side, which was a departure from the traditional practice of using the reign title or the name of the dynasty. This change in design was a reflection of the growing power and influence of the emperor during this period.
