Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted by the Small Sword Society, a dynastic rebel group that sought to overthrow the ruling Qing dynasty in China during the mid-19th century. The coin's design, which features a crescent and dot, is a symbol of the group's revolutionary ideology and its desire for change. Despite the coin's small denomination, it holds significant historical value as a representation of the tumultuous period in Chinese history.
