Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Xianfeng Zhongbao iron coin is that it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in China, known as the "Xianfeng Crisis," which was caused by a combination of natural disasters, corruption, and economic mismanagement. Despite the challenges, the coin remained in circulation for several years, indicating the resilience of the Chinese economy and the adaptability of its people.
