1 Cash - Dazhong Tongbao, Fu

The Dazhong Tongbao was issued by Zhu Yuanzhang before he formally established the Ming dynasty, during the period when he governed as Prince of Wu and styled his realm the Great Zhong State. It is among the few Chinese cash series tied directly to a pre-dynastic interregnum — Zhu abandoned the Dazhong coinage entirely once he proclaimed the Hongwu reign in 1368, replacing it with the Hongwu Tongbao. The "Fu" reverse mint mark denotes Fengyang prefecture, Zhu's ancestral home in Anhui, which he later elevated to the status of a secondary imperial capital.
