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 system remained relatively stable, with coins like this one continuing to be used as a means of exchange.
