Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Manchu cultures. The obverse side of the coin features the Chinese character "通" (tōng) meaning "circulating" or "standard," while the reverse side features the Manchu characters "ᠮᠮᠠᠮᠠᠨᠮᠠᠨᠵᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ" (mandju) meaning "Manchu" and "ᠪᠪᠣᠪᠣᠣᠪᠣᠣᠨ" (boo-chiowan) meaning "treasury." This blend of cultures reflects the multicultural nature of the Empire of China during the Shunzhi era.
