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," when the Ming dynasty was overthrown by the Manchu people, who established the Qing dynasty. Despite the political upheaval, the production of coins like this one continued, with the new rulers adopting the same designs and materials as their predecessors. This coin, made of brass and weighing 3.77 grams, is a testament to the resilience and continuity of Chinese currency during this period of significant change.
