Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Cash - Dading (Tongbao) ND (1178) from Great Jin (Tatar dynasties) made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized dragon, which is a common motif in Chinese mythology, while the reverse side bears the inscription "Dading Tongbao" in Chinese characters, indicating the coin's issuance during the Dading era of the Great Jin dynasty.
