Interesting fact

The Yongzheng coin was issued during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor, who ruled China from 1722 to 1735. During his reign, the government implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system that replaced the old system of cowry shells and other objects used as currency. The Yongzheng coin was part of this new system and was designed to be more durable and easier to use than the previous currency. It was made of brass and had a standardized design, with the emperor's name and title on one side and the denomination on the other. This coin was used throughout the empire and was an important part of everyday transactions during that time.
