Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Tianwan Kingdom, which was a short-lived dynasty that lasted only from 1359 to 1360. Despite its brief existence, the kingdom was able to produce a range of coins, including the 1 Cash - Tianding (Tongbao) coin made of bronze. This coin's design and material reflect the kingdom's attempt to establish its own currency and economic system, even though it ultimately failed to gain widespread acceptance and was replaced by other currencies in the following centuries.
