Comment
Zhida coins were first cast in the third year (1310) at various mints in Sichuan (Shandong, Hedong, Liaoyang, Jinghuai, and Chuanhan).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Zhida, who was the third emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, which was established by Kublai Khan. The coin features the Regular script character "Zhida" on one side and the Tongbao symbol on the other, signifying the unity of the empire under a single ruler. Despite its small weight of 3.8 grams, the coin played an important role in the economy of the vast Mongol Empire, facilitating trade and commerce across a vast territory that stretched from China to Eastern Europe.
