Comment
Type 1 differs from Type 2 in the location of Juwan on the reverse, and that Type 1 does not have a dot to the left of Ni while Type 2 does.Interesting fact
The Manchu script on the coin is a unique feature, as it was the writing system used by the Manchu people, who were a Tungusic people from northeastern China. The use of Manchu script on the coin reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Later Jin dynasty, which was a period of significant cultural and political exchange between different ethnic groups in China.
