Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Cash - Jiading (Yuanbao; Qiong; 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 1115. The coin was made of iron because the Jurchens believed that it was a strong and durable metal, symbolizing the strength and power of their empire. The use of iron coins also helped to promote trade and commerce within the empire, as they were easily transportable and could be used to purchase goods and services. Despite being made of a relatively common metal, the coin was still considered valuable and was used widely throughout the empire.
