Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in China, known as the "Ming-Qing transition," when the Ming dynasty was overthrown by the Manchu people and the Qing dynasty was established. Despite the political upheaval, the coinage of the Southern Ming regime continued to be produced, with the Yongli coin being one example. This coin's existence serves as a tangible reminder of the complex history of China during this time period.
