Comment
"Restorer of Peace" was the title Li Wenmao gave himself after occupying Liuzhou in Guangxi, 1857. He was defeated the following year.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Pingjing (Shengbao; Chang Sheng Jun) ND (1857-1858) from Guangdong Triad Society (Dynastic rebels) made of Brass is that it was used as a form of currency by the Guangdong Triad Society, a secret society that was active in the 19th century in China. The society was known for its involvement in various rebellions and uprisings against the ruling Qing dynasty, and the coin was likely used to finance their activities. The use of a custom-made currency like this coin highlights the society's desire for independence and autonomy from the established government.
