Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great cultural and religious exchange between China and other regions, including India and Central Asia. This is reflected in the coin's design, which features a blend of Chinese and foreign elements, such as the use of the Buddhist swastika symbol.
