Comment
The Slender Gold script was the personal calligraphy style of the Emperor.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Daguan (Tongbao) ND (1107-1110) from Empire of China made of Bronze weighing 4.00 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Northern Song Dynasty, which was a time of great economic growth and cultural achievement in China. The coin's design features a square hole in the center, which was used to string multiple coins together for ease of use in transactions. Additionally, the coin's bronze composition was a deliberate choice by the government to reduce the cost of production, as bronze was a less expensive material than other metals used in previous coinage. Despite its humble composition, the Daguan Tongbao coin remains a highly sought-after collector's item today, with some rare variations selling for thousands of dollars.
