Comment
This mint cast only 15,130 strings (15,130,000 individual coins) between 1730 and 1732, using five furnaces.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Yongzheng Tongbao (Boo-nan) coin is that it was the first coin in Chinese history to feature a portrait of the emperor, Yongzheng, on the obverse (front side). This was a departure from the traditional design of Chinese coins, which typically featured a square hole in the center and a few Chinese characters on the outside. The inclusion of the emperor's portrait was a significant change in the design of Chinese coins and marked a new era in Chinese numismatics.
