Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Qianlong Emperor's reign, who was the fourth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, and ruled from 1736 to 1796. The Qianlong Emperor was known for his extensive military campaigns, territorial expansion, and cultural achievements, and his reign is often regarded as the golden age of the Qing dynasty. The coin's design, including the one-stroke A and the circle, is a reflection of the Emperor's efforts to standardize coinage and promote economic development during his reign.
