Comment
This type is missing the radical 金 of 銖, and is attribute to Shen Chong.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu - Shen Chong (322-324) from China (ancient) made of Bronze is that it features a unique combination of both Chinese and Greek elements. The coin's design includes the Chinese character "Zhu" (钰) on one side, and the Greek goddess Athena on the other. This blending of cultures reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the period of Greek colonization in China, specifically in the region of Dayuan (modern-day Yunnan Province). This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that showcases the rich history and cultural diversity of ancient China.
