Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Jou - temp. Kublai Khan 658 (1260) from Great Mongol made of Bronze weighing 3.32 g is that it features an image of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, on one side, and a stylized dragon on the other. The dragon is a symbol of power and strength in Mongolian culture, and its presence on the coin reflects the influence of Chinese culture on the Mongol Empire.
