Comment
The Guang is written in Running script.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Ten Kingdoms period in ancient China, specifically in the Former Shu Kingdom. This period was marked by political instability and the rise of regional warlords, and the use of coins like this one helped to facilitate trade and commerce despite the political turmoil.
