Interesting fact

The 1 Mon "Kanpyōtaihō" coin from Japan, made of Copper, is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features a stylized dragon, while the reverse side bears the inscription "Kanpyōtaihō" (meaning "Circulation Coin") in Japanese characters. This design was used during the reign of Emperor Daigo, who ruled Japan from 890 to 907 AD. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and prosperity of the Japanese Empire during that time.
