Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong, who was the third emperor of the Jin dynasty and ruled from 1204 to 1208. During his reign, the Jin dynasty was facing threats from both domestic and foreign enemies, and the emperor issued a number of edicts aimed at strengthening the military and improving the economy. Despite these efforts, the Jin dynasty ultimately collapsed in 1234, and this coin serves as a reminder of a brief but significant period in Chinese history.
