Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Qianlong Emperor's reign, who was the fourth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, and ruled from 1736 to 1796. The coin was minted posthumously, meaning it was produced after the emperor's death, and it features the Tongbao, Boo-yuan, Ku Shi, and Kucha mint marks, indicating that it was produced in the Xinjiang region. The use of copper in the production of this coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a widely available and affordable metal.
