Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Toghon Temür, also known as Tianyou, who was the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in China. The coin features the character "Yi" on the reverse side, which represents the name of the kingdom, Dazhou, in the local dialect. This coin is a rare example of a bronze coin issued during the Yuan Dynasty, as most coins from this period were made of paper or other materials. Additionally, the coin's weight of 3.79 grams is relatively heavy for a coin of its size, indicating that it was made with a higher concentration of bronze than other coins of its kind.
