Comment
In 755, a revolt resulted in the City of Luozhou (the capital), being taken. The Great Yan State was formed, lasting from 756 to 763, when it was finally extinguished.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a crescent shape on one side, which is a symbol of Islam. This suggests that the Great Yan State, which was a rebellious dynasty in China during the 8th century, may have had some level of Islamic influence or connection. This is a unique feature among Chinese coins and highlights the diverse cultural exchange and influences present during that time period.
