Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a crescent shape on one side, which is a symbol of Islamic influence in the region during the time of the Ten Kingdoms. This coin was issued during the reign of King Liu Yan, who was known for his military campaigns against the neighboring kingdoms and his efforts to promote trade and cultural exchange. The use of a crescent shape on the coin may reflect the cultural and religious diversity of the region at the time.
