Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, who ruled from 900 to 914 AD. The coin's design features the Chinese character "通" (tōng) on one side, which means "circulating" or "standard," indicating its use as an official currency. Additionally, the coin's iron composition was a common material used for coins during this time period in ancient China.
