Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Wen Xing coin from the State of Qin is that it features a unique square hole in the center, which was used to thread a cord through, allowing the coin to be worn as a pendant or carried as an amulet. This design element sets it apart from other ancient Chinese coins, which typically had a round hole or no hole at all.
