Comment
The one pictured on this file is 42.5mm long and 22.1mm wide.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Jin - Chang An (Zhao State) (350 BC - 250 BC) from State of Zhao (Warring States) made of Bronze weighing 9.3 g is that it features a unique combination of both animal and human figures on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized dragon, while the reverse side features a mythical creature known as a "qilin," which is a hybrid of a deer, horse, and dragon. This blend of animal and human elements symbolizes the harmony and balance that the Zhao state aimed to achieve in its society.
