Interesting fact
The Tianqi coin was issued during the reign of the Tianqi Emperor, who ruled the Ming dynasty from 1620 to 1627. The coin features a unique circular rim, which was a new design element introduced during this emperor's reign. This design change was meant to make the coin easier to stack and store, and it became a distinctive feature of Ming dynasty coins.
