Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the Great Zhou dynasty, which was a short-lived and controversial period in Chinese history. The Zhou dynasty was established by a rebel group who overthrew the Ming dynasty, but it was eventually defeated by the Qing dynasty. As a result, coins from this period are relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors.
