Comment
While these coins make reference to the Ministry of Revenue, these coins were cast in Fuzhou.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great turmoil in China, known as the "Ming-Qing transition," when the Ming dynasty was overthrown by the Manchu people and the Qing dynasty was established. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still bears the name of the Southern Ming regime, indicating that it was minted in the south of China, where the Ming loyalists continued to resist the Qing invasion.
