Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Toghon Temür, also known as Tianyou, who was the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in China. The coin was minted in the Dazhou Kingdom, which was a short-lived rebel state established during the Yuan Dynasty. Despite its brief existence, the Dazhou Kingdom played a significant role in Chinese history, and this coin serves as a reminder of that period.
