Interesting fact

The 1 Tael coin from the Empire of China, made of silver and weighing 39g, was used as a form of currency during the anonymous reign of the Mongol Empire in China, which lasted from 1271 to 1368. This coin was an important medium of exchange during a time of significant cultural, economic, and political change in China, as the Mongol Empire expanded its territories and established new trade routes. The coin's design and weight were standardized to ensure consistency and trustworthiness in transactions, and it remained a widely used currency for many centuries.
