Comment
These coins are sometimes reported as being slightly magnetic due to these pieces being cast from lesser quality bronze, containing up to 2% iron.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Cash - Jiading (Tongbao) ND (1208-1221) from Empire of China made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Tibetan influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Tongbao" in Chinese characters, while the reverse side features a Tibetan-style mantra in a clockwise direction. This blending of cultural elements reflects the cultural exchange and religious tolerance that existed during the Jin Dynasty, which ruled northern China and parts of Inner Asia during the 12th and 13th centuries.
