Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu ("Eastern Han"; disjointed 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) meaning "Five Zhu" in Chinese characters, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a dragon, which was a symbol of the Han dynasty. This blending of design elements reflects the complex history of China during this period, where different regions and dynasties coexisted and influenced each other's culture and currency.
