Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty, who ruled China from 1662 to 1722. This coin was minted in the 1297-1307 period, which was during the early years of Kangxi's reign. The coin's design features the Chinese character "通" (tong) on the obverse, which means "circulating" or "standard," and the character "宝" (bao) on the reverse, which means "treasure." The use of these characters signifies the coin's status as a standard circulating coin of the empire. Additionally, the fact that it was made of bronze, a durable and widely available metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday use in commerce and trade.
