Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Cash - Jiading (Yuanbao; Seal script; iron) ND (1208-1224) from Empire of China made of Iron is that it was used as a form of currency during the Jin Dynasty, which was established by the Jurchen people in northern China in the early 13th century. The coin features the seal script characters "Yuanbao" on one side and "Jiading" on the other, indicating its denomination and place of minting, respectively. The use of iron as the material for the coin was a significant innovation at the time, as most coins were previously made of copper or other metals. The iron content of the coin also made it more durable and resistant to wear and tear, which was important for a currency that was widely used in trade and commerce.
