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 this upheaval, the coin still bears the name of the Southern Ming regime, indicating that it was minted in the southern region of China, which was still under Ming control at the time.
