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 features a unique script known as 'Phags-pa, which was used during the Mongol Empire. The script was created by a Tibetan monk named 'Phags-pa Lama and was used to write Mongolian, Tibetan, and Chinese languages. The use of this script on the coin reflects the cultural diversity and exchange that existed during the Mongol Empire.
