Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during a time of great turmoil in China, known as the Ming-Qing transition. The Southern Ming regime, which issued this coin, was a short-lived attempt to restore the Ming dynasty after the fall of the capital Beijing to the Manchu-led Qing dynasty in 1644. Despite the political instability, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, showcasing the resilience and skill of the artisans who created it.
