Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a redesigned dragon, which is a unique feature of the Hunan type, type 3 variety. The dragon on this coin has a more slender and curved body compared to other varieties, and it's said to represent the dragon's dynamic and powerful movement. This design was only used for a short period of time, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
