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 this coin is that it was produced during the Jin Dynasty, which was established by the Jurchen people, who were a Tungusic people from northeastern China. The Jin Dynasty was known for its advanced agriculture, architecture, and printing technology, and its capital city, Zhongdu (modern-day Beijing), was one of the largest cities in the world at the time.
