Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Great Zhong State, which was a short-lived dynasty that emerged during the tumultuous period of the Yuan Dynasty's decline in the 14th century. Despite its brief existence, the Great Zhong State was able to issue its own coinage, including this 2 Cash coin made of bronze. The coin's design features the Chinese characters "Tongbao" (通宝) and "Yu" (裕), which signify the coin's denomination and the name of the state, respectively.
