Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Cash - Jiaxi (Zhongbao) ND (1237-1240) from Empire of China made of Bronze weighing 9.65g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Southern Song Dynasty, which was a period of great cultural and economic growth in China. The coin's design features a square hole in the center, which was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry multiple coins together. This design was unique to Chinese coins during this time period and is a distinctive feature of the Jiaxi (Zhongbao) coinage.
