The calligraphy of these coins is exceptional, and the craftsmanship is exquisite and uniform. They are one of the most beautiful currencies in Chinese monetary history. These meticulously minted Yongle Tongbao coins were mainly used for foreign trade, playing a significant role in the early Ming Dynasty's opening to the outside world and serving as a form of hard currency for international trade 600 years ago. “Yong Le （永乐）” in Chinese means perpetual happiness. Emperor Zhu Di, known by his reign title Yongle, is often referred to as Emperor Yongle or Yongle the Great by later generations. During his reign, he implemented political reforms, establishing the cabinet as a government institution. He conducted five military campaigns against Mongolia, reclaimed Annam (modern-day Vietnam), established the Nuerhachi Command in the northeast, the Hami Guard in the northwest, and several other pacification offices in the southwest, including Digu Ci and Dimasa. He also set up the Guizhou Provincial Administration to strengthen the defense of both the northern and southern borders, maintaining the integrity of China's territory. He dispatched Zheng He on multiple voyages to the Western Seas (Indian Ocean), strengthening friendly relations and expanding China's influence in the South China Sea. Additionally, Emperor Yongle ordered the compilation of the "Yongle Encyclopedia," and undertook the dredging of the Grand Canal. During his rule, the Ming Dynasty experienced economic prosperity and military strength, and both cultural and martial achievements were significantly enhanced, making his era known as the "Yongle Prosperous Era." 永乐通宝是明朝于永乐年间（公元1408年）铸造的年号钱。该钱书法绝伦，铸工精湛，整齐划一，是中国货币史上精美的货币之一。这些铸造精整的永乐通宝钱主要用于对外贸易，为明初对外开放发挥了重要作用，成为600年前的国际贸易硬通货。 明成祖朱棣年号永乐，故后人称其为永乐帝、永乐大帝等。他在位时，政治上改革机构，设置内阁；对外五次亲征蒙古，收复安南，并于东北设奴儿干都司，在西北置哈密卫 ，在西南置大古刺、底马撒、底兀刺等宣慰司，又设贵州承宣布政使司，巩固了南北边防，维护了中国版图的完整；多次派郑和下西洋，加强了中外友好往来，加强对南海的经营；还命人编修《永乐大典》，疏浚大运河。在他统治期间明朝经济繁荣、国力强盛，文治武功都有了很大提升，史称永乐盛世。
