Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Yongzheng Tongbao (Boo-je) coin is that it was the first coin in Chinese history to feature a portrait of the emperor. The coin features an image of Emperor Yongzheng, who ruled from 1722 to 1735, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the traditional Chinese characters for "Tongbao" and the year of minting. This design was a departure from previous Chinese coins, which typically featured only symbols or characters, and marked a significant shift towards more realistic and detailed designs in Chinese numismatics.
