Comment
These coins were introduced in the first reform, and were the only types continually cast in each succeeding reform.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 50 Cash - Wang Mang (First reform; repeated legend) (7-23) from China (ancient) made of Bronze weighing 6.91 g is that it was produced during the reign of Wang Mang, who was a powerful Chinese statesman who lived from 45 BCE to 23 CE. He was known for his extensive reforms, including the creation of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features a repeating pattern of the Chinese character for "wang," which means "king" or "prince," reflecting Wang Mang's high status and influence during his time.
