Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Shaoxi (Tongbao; Seal script; Chun; iron) 3 (1192) from Empire of China made of Iron is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Guang Zong of the Song Dynasty, who ruled from 1189 to 1194. This coin was part of a series of new currency reforms implemented by the Emperor, which aimed to address the economic issues of the time by introducing a new standardized system of currency. The use of iron as the material for the coin was a significant departure from previous coins, which were made of copper, and it reflects the efforts of the government to introduce more durable and practical currency.
