Comment
This 12th century 57.8 m high 8-sided pagoda of the Tianning Temple was built out of bricks and stone but imitates the design of a wooden pagoda. It is featuring dougong bracket supports and verandas with banisters but is solid with no hollow insides or staircases.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and political upheaval in China. The Japanese invasion and occupation of China during World War II led to the establishment of puppet states, such as the East Hebei Autonomous Government, which issued its own currency, including this coin. Despite the difficult circumstances, the coin still maintains a certain level of historical and numismatic significance, offering a glimpse into a complex and tumultuous period in Chinese history.
