Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Tibetan influences in its design. The use of the Tongbao script, which is a form of regular script used in Chinese calligraphy, and the depiction of a Tibetan-style dragon on the reverse side of the coin, reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Western Xia Empire's rule over a diverse territory that included parts of modern-day China, Tibet, and Central Asia.
