Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great turmoil in China, known as the "Ming-Qing transition," which saw the fall of the Ming dynasty and the rise of the Qing dynasty. Despite this political upheaval, the production of coins like this one continued, with the Tianming (Tongbao) coin serving as a symbol of the changing times.
