Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu ("Eastern Han"; vertical legend) (150-220) from China (ancient) made of Bronze is that it features a unique combination of both Chinese characters and imagery from ancient Chinese mythology. On one side of the coin, there is a depiction of a dragon, which was a symbol of power and good fortune in ancient Chinese culture, while on the other side, there are four Chinese characters that read "Zhongguo Huang" (中国皇), meaning "Emperor of China." This blend of mythology and real-world authority reflects the importance of both cultural tradition and political power in ancient Chinese society.
