Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong, who was the third emperor of the Jin dynasty and ruled from 1204 to 1208. During his reign, the Jin dynasty was known for its military campaigns against the neighboring Song dynasty, and this coin may have been used to finance those military efforts. Additionally, the coin's design features the Chinese character " Taihe" (太和) which means "Great Harmony" or "Supreme Peace" and reflects the emperor's desire to promote peace and prosperity throughout his empire.
