Comment
The Chonghe era lasted only three months (November, 1118 to February, 1119), so these coins are very scarce.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of scripts, with the obverse bearing the legend "Chonghe Tongbao" in seal script, while the reverse features the denomination "1 Cash" in regular script. This blend of scripts was a common practice during the Northern Song dynasty, reflecting the cultural and linguistic diversity of the time.
