Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during the Ten Kingdoms period in China, which was a time of great political fragmentation and cultural diversity. Despite being issued by a relatively small kingdom, the Ma Chu Kingdom, this coin was likely used in trade and commerce across a wide region, reflecting the complex economic and cultural networks of the time.
