Comment
DocYuanShouldersInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Liao dynasty, which was a time of great cultural and economic exchange between China and other parts of Asia. The coin's design features a square hole in the center, which was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry multiple coins together. This design feature is unique to coins from the Liao dynasty and is not found in coins from other dynasties.
