Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Cash - Xianfeng (Zhongbao; Boo-su) ND (1854) from Empire of China made of Brass weighing 9.01 g is that it was minted during the Xianfeng era, which was a time of great change and upheaval in China. The Xianfeng Emperor, who ruled from 1850 to 1861, was known for his conservative and isolationist policies, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and trade. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this era, including the 5 Cash coin, was notable for its high quality and durability, and many examples have survived to the present day.
