Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was privately cast, which means that it was not issued by the imperial government but rather by a private individual or group. This was a common practice during the Northern Song dynasty, where the government would allow private individuals to cast their own coins to help alleviate the shortage of official currency. This coin, in particular, was cast during the reign of Emperor Huizong, who ruled from 1100 to 1126. Despite being privately cast, these coins were still recognized as legitimate currency by the government and were widely used in trade and commerce.
