Interesting fact
The 5 Cash coin from the Zhizheng (Tongbao) era (1350-1368) was made of bronze, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique square hole in the center, which was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry multiple coins together easily. This design feature was a distinct characteristic of coins from the Zhizheng era and is a notable aspect of its historical significance.
