DocYuanShouldersInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Ten Kingdoms period in ancient China, specifically in the Former Shu Kingdom. This period saw the rise of several kingdoms in the south of modern-day China, and the use of coins like this one as a medium of exchange was an important innovation in trade and commerce.
