Comment
This are trial strikes that were never put into circulation.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Cash - Chunyou (Tongbao; trial strike) ND (1241-1252) from Empire of China made of Bronze is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Tibetan influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Chunyou" in Chinese characters, while the reverse side features a Tibetan-style mantra in the form of a circular pattern. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history of the Empire of China during the 13th century, when Tibetan Buddhism was gaining popularity among the ruling classes.
