Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins during that time period. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron was seen as a way to show the power and strength of the Min Kingdom. The iron used in the coin was also said to have been sourced from the kingdom's own iron mines, adding to its unique history and value.
