Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of the Tianqi Emperor, who was the 14th emperor of the Ming dynasty in China. He ruled from 1620 to 1627, and his reign was marked by political turmoil, economic difficulties, and natural disasters. Despite these challenges, the Tianqi Emperor continued to issue coins like this one, which were used as a means of exchange and commerce throughout the empire.
