Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu ("Eastern Han"; reversed legend) (150-220) from China (ancient) made of Bronze is that it features a unique reversed legend, which means that the characters on the coin are written in the opposite direction to what is typical for Chinese coins. This unusual feature has led some collectors to speculate that the coin may have been minted by a rebel or counterfeit group, as it deviates from the standard design used by the official mint during the Eastern Han dynasty.
