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. The use of bronze as the material for the coin was also a common practice in ancient China, and the coin's design reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Mongolian invasion of China in the 13th century.
