This hole is not just for aesthetics but also serves a practical purpose. In traditional Chinese culture, the square shape represents earth, stability, and prosperity. The hole is believed to bring good luck and prosperity to the coin's owner.

This feature has made the coin popular among collectors and has become a distinctive symbol of Chinese culture.
