Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jiatai (Tongbao; with crescent and dot) ND (1201-1204) bronze coin from the Empire of China is that it features a unique crescent moon and dot design on one side, which was a new design element introduced during the Jiatai era (1201-1204) of the Southern Song dynasty. This design was meant to symbolize the Islamic influence on Chinese culture during that time period.
