Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin dynasty, who ruled from 1190 to 1208. The coin's design features the Chinese character " tongbao" which means "unified treasure" and represents the unification of the different regions of China under the Jin dynasty. Additionally, the coin's weight of 5.73g suggests that it was made of bronze, a common material used for coins during that time period.
