Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Zhu Shen Lang (317-323) from China (ancient) made of Bronze weighing 1 g is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Greek elements. The coin's design incorporates the Chinese dragon and phoenix, while the inscription is in both Chinese characters and Greek letters. This fusion of cultures reflects the exchange and influence of ideas between ancient China and Greece during the time of the Silk Road.
