Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Temür, also known as Emperor Chengzong of Yuan, who ruled the Yuan Dynasty from 1294 to 1307. This coin is a rare example of a bronze cash coin produced during his reign, as most coins from this period were made of paper or other materials. The use of bronze for this coin may have been a result of a shortage of other materials or a deliberate choice to showcase the empire's wealth and power.
