Comment
Only nine examples are known, with this type seemingly being missing from all major catalogue. Seven of those coins were found in a hoard in Far East Russia, while one was found in Inner Mongolia not long after. There also exists a rubbing of this type by Japanese numismatic Hirao Sanpei, bringing the total count to nine.All coins from the hoard and the one from Inner Mongolia have been published on Zeno.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Eastern Xia Kingdom and other regions, including the Mongol Empire. This is evident in the coin's design, which features a combination of traditional Chinese and Mongolian elements.
