Extended data

Small five emperors' money is usually called "Five emperors' money in Qing Dynasty", which is an ancient money cast by the most prosperous five emperors in Qing Dynasty. From the reign of the emperor shunzhi in 1644 to the death of Emperor Jiaqing in 1820, these five emperors reigned in 176, which was the most glorious period of the Qing Dynasty. During their reign, the country was strong and there was a famous "prosperous time of kanggan" in history.

Although the Tang dynasty abandoned the "baht system" and adopted the "precious goods system", its shape still followed the beauty of Qin Banliang, but changed the title and the words cast on the coin surface. Later generations followed this form, adding the country name and year number before the word "Bao Tong", such as Yongle Bao Tong and Jiajing Bao Tong in the Ming Dynasty, Shunzhi Bao Tong and Kangxi Bao Tong in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also recorded in "Tiangong Wu Kai" that "Bao Tong's name was printed on one side".
