Comment
Coin in picture is the Hartill#15.90Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Southern Tang Kingdom and other regions, including the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. This is evident in the coin's design, which features a mix of Chinese characters and Tangut script, reflecting the cultural diversity of the time.
