Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for coins during the Ten Kingdoms period in ancient China. The use of iron for coins was practical because it was abundant, durable, and easy to work with, making it an ideal material for mass production. Additionally, the fact that this coin weighs 13.43 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination, likely used for large transactions or as a store of value.
