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 Seal script, also known as Zhuan Shu, was a writing style used in ancient China, while the Yuanbao symbol on the coin is a Tibetan motif that represents a "treasure vase" or " wealth vessel". This blend of cultural elements reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the Western Xia Empire, which was known for its religious tolerance and cultural exchange.
