Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Great Zhong State, which was a short-lived dynasty that emerged during the tumultuous period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in ancient China. Despite its brief existence, the Great Zhong State was able to issue its own currency, including this 5 Cash coin, which features the Dazhong (Tongbao) era name and weighs 16.55 grams.
