Comments

In 1309, the Zhida Yinchao currency was introduced to replace the previous Zhiyuan notes. These Zhida notes were the first notes in the Yuan dynasty history to be directly pegged to the Tael, and 1 Zhida note was equal to 5 Zhiyuan notes.

These notes circulated for just over a year, and when the next emporer came into power in 1311, the Zhida notes were demonetized, and the Zhongtong and Zhiyuan notes were reverted to.
