Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Tangut influences in its design. The coin's inscriptions are written in both Chinese characters and Tangut script, reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Western Xia Empire's rule. This coin is a rare example of a currency that bridges the gap between two distinct cultures and highlights the rich cultural heritage of the region.
