Comment
Coinage of Wu Sangui, self-proclaimed emperor of the Great Zhou dynasty (1674-1678).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in China, known as the "Ming-Qing transition," when the Ming dynasty was overthrown by the Manchu people, who established the Qing dynasty. Despite the political upheaval, the coinage system remained relatively stable, with coins like this one still being issued and used in everyday transactions.
