Comment
MintIliInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, who was the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history, ruling from 1735 to 1796. This coin was minted in the latter part of his reign, during the period known as the "Tongbao" or "Posthumous" era, which refers to the period after the emperor's death when his successor continued to use his name and reign title. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during this era, and its existence provides insight into the economic and political conditions of the time.
