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" era, which lasted from 1775 to 1850. The coin's design features the Chinese character "Tong" (通) on the obverse, which means "circulating" or "standard," and the character "Bao" (宝) on the reverse, which means "treasure." The coin's weight of 3.87 grams and its composition of copper also make it an interesting artifact from this time period.
