This mother money was issued to all localities, and each place used the mother money system to mint coins. The carving of the mother money money is very sophisticated, and the carved mothers seen today are all made of golden yellow copper, which is a copper with excellent texture. The text of the bronze carving mother's money is very exquisite, and the words are deeply completed.

The carved mother coin is made into a money mold and taken away, and the craftsman pours the melted copper liquid on the money mold, and after the coinage is cooled, the mold is opened, and the coin is taken out and polished.
