Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of the Hongwu Emperor, the founder of the Ming dynasty, who ruled from 1368 to 1398. The coin's design and production were overseen by the imperial government, and it was used as a standard form of currency throughout the empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant artifact of Chinese history and a testament to the advanced metallurgical techniques of the time.
