Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great political instability in China, specifically during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor in the Qing dynasty. The coin was issued by the Dynastic rebels, who were trying to overthrow the ruling Qing dynasty and restore the Ming dynasty. Despite the political turmoil, the coin was still widely accepted as a form of payment, indicating the importance of currency in facilitating economic transactions even during times of conflict.
