Comment
Hartill says this is made of bronze; however, an example made of iron has been published on Zeno.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins during that time period. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the Great Shu Kingdom chose to use iron, which was a more durable and practical material for everyday use. This decision reflected the kingdom's emphasis on practicality and efficiency, and it also made the coin stand out from other coins of the time.
