Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Xianfeng Tongbao coin is that it was produced during a time of significant economic and political change in China. The Xianfeng Emperor, who ruled from 1850 to 1861, implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing China's economy and government, including the introduction of new currency systems and the expansion of trade with foreign countries. The Xianfeng Tongbao coin was part of these reforms, and its design and production reflect the influence of Western currency systems on Chinese coinage during this period.
