Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu ("Eastern Han"; repeated legend) (150-220) from China (ancient) made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side features a stylized portrait of the Chinese emperor, while the reverse (back) side features a depiction of a Roman-style imperial eagle, highlighting the cultural exchange and trade between ancient China and the Roman Empire. This blending of design elements is a distinct characteristic of coins from the Eastern Han dynasty and reflects the multicultural nature of the ancient Silk Road trade routes.
