Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during the Western Xia Empire, which was a Tangut Empire that existed in the 13th century in what is now Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai provinces in China. The coin features the Regular script character "guang" (廣) on one side and the Tatar dynasties' emblem on the other. The use of this coin reflects the cultural and economic exchange between the Western Xia Empire and other regions in Asia during that time.
