Interesting fact

The Yongzheng coin was issued during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor, who ruled China from 1722 to 1735. This coin was part of a series of reforms implemented by the emperor to stabilize the Chinese economy and improve the currency system. The Yongzheng coin was made of brass, which was a more durable and affordable material than the previous currency, which was made of silver. This change in material helped to increase the circulation of coins and promote trade in China.
