Comment
The Slender Gold script was the personal calligraphy style of the Emperor.Interesting fact
The Chongning Tongbao coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song dynasty, who ruled from 1100 to 1126. During his reign, the government attempted to reform the currency system, introducing new coins made of bronze and iron to replace the older copper coins. The Chongning Tongbao coin was one of these new coins, and it features a unique square hole in the center, which was a distinctive feature of Northern Song dynasty coins.
