Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between China and other regions, including India and the Middle East. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect this exchange, with the use of both Chinese characters and Tibetan script. This coin is a tangible representation of the rich history and cultural diversity of the Ten Kingdoms period in China.
