Comment
In 1686, a mint in Zhaoqing briefly oporated under the same name.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 design of Chinese coins, which typically featured a square hole in the center and a few Chinese characters on the sides. The inclusion of the emperor's portrait was a significant change in the design of Chinese coins and marked a new era in Chinese numismatics.
