Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1000 Cash - Xianfeng (Yuanbao; Boo-he) ND (1854) from Empire of China made of Brass is that it was part of a series of coins issued during the Xianfeng era (1850-1861) that were designed to combat counterfeiting. The coin features a unique "Yuanbao" or "Boo-he" design, which was a symbol of authenticity and was used to distinguish genuine coins from counterfeit ones. This design feature, along with the use of brass as the material, made the coin more difficult to counterfeit and helped to maintain the integrity of the currency.
