Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Islamic influences in its design. The use of Tangut script, which was used in the Western Xia Empire, and the crescent symbol, which is commonly associated with Islam, reflects the cultural exchange and religious diversity of the time period.
