Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Shaoxing (Yuanbao; Seal script) ND (1131-1162) from Empire of China made of Bronze is that it was used as a form of currency during the Song Dynasty, which was a time of great economic growth and cultural achievement in China. The coin's design features a seal script character for "cash" on one side and a square hole in the center of the other side, which was used to thread a string through for easy carrying. Despite being made of bronze, the coin was valued at a relatively low denomination, reflecting the abundance of copper resources in China at the time.
