Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of characters on its reverse side. The characters "卐" (Ping) and " Han" (Zhu) are present, which signifies the coin's denomination and the dynasty it belonged to, respectively. This combination of characters is not commonly found on other coins from the same period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
