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 coin was minted posthumously, meaning it was produced after the emperor's death, and it features the Tongbao, Kan Shuy, and Kucha mint marks, indicating that it was produced in the Xinjiang region. The use of multiple mint marks was a common practice during the Qing dynasty, as it helped to distinguish coins produced in different regions and prevent counterfeiting.
