Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu ("Eastern Han"; disconnected Wu) (150-220) from China (ancient) made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of both Han and Wu dynasty elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "五銖" (wu zhu) which means "five zhu," while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a dragon, which was a symbol associated with the Han dynasty. This blending of design elements reflects the complex political history of the time, when the Wu dynasty was established in the southeastern regions of China during the Eastern Han period.
