Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Wang Mang (Fifth reform) coin is that it was introduced during a time of significant economic and political change in ancient China. Wang Mang, who ruled from 9-23 AD, was a powerful and influential leader who implemented a number of reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system. The coin , which was made of bronze and weighed 3.67 grams, was part of this new system and was used widely throughout China during this time period. Despite the fact that the coin is now over 2,000 years old, many examples have survived to the present day and are highly prized by collectors and historians.
