Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of copper, silver or gold. The use of iron suggests that the Great Shu Kingdom was experimenting with different materials for their currency, possibly due to a shortage of more traditional metals.
