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. Despite being minted during his reign, the coin was issued posthumously, meaning after his death, and bears his name and title on the obverse side. This coin is a rare example of a posthumous issue of a Chinese coin and is highly sought after by collectors.
