MintIliInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Tongzhi era (1862-1874) of the Qing dynasty, which was a time of great change and modernization in China. The coin's design features the traditional Chinese characters for "Tongzhi" (zhongbao) and "Ili" (yili), indicating that it was minted in the Ili region of South Xinjiang. Additionally, the fact that it is a trial strike suggests that it may have been a test coin, minted in limited quantities for evaluation purposes.
