Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu - Liu Bei (Kingdom of Shu) (221-263) from State of Shu (Three Kingdoms) made of Bronze is that it features an image of Liu Bei, a prominent warlord and the founder of the Shu Han dynasty, on one side, and a mythical creature called the "dragon" on the other. The dragon was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Chinese culture, and its inclusion on the coin may have been meant to convey the power and authority of Liu Bei and the Shu Han dynasty.
