Comment
It is unknown whether the Tong is for an uncertain mint or for some kind of control system.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Cash - Jiading (Zhongbao; Regular script; Tong; 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. 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 coin's design features the Chinese character "zhong" (中) on one side, which means "central" or "middle," and the character "bao" (宝) on the other side, which means "treasure" or "precious." This coin was used for everyday transactions and was an important part of the economy during that time period.
