Comment
Zhida coins were first cast in the third year (1310) at various mints in Sichuan (Shandong, Hedong, Liaoyang, Jinghuai, and Chuanhan).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Zhida, also known as Emperor Yuanbao, who ruled the Empire of China from 1310 to 1311. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by the emperor to replace the old system, which had been in use for over 300 years. The coin was made of bronze and had a unique design, featuring the Chinese character for "zhida" or "yuanbao" on one side and a stylized dragon on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
