Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "grass script" style of calligraphy, which was used during the Northern Song dynasty. This style of calligraphy is characterized by its cursive and flowing strokes, which resemble the look of grass or bamboo. It was used on many official documents and coins during this time period, and is still studied and admired today for its beauty and historical significance.
