Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, who ruled from 1022 to 1063. This coin was part of a series of reforms that aimed to stabilize the economy and improve the currency system of the time. The use of bronze as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to address the issue of counterfeiting, as it was harder to counterfeit bronze coins compared to other materials. Additionally, the coin's design featured a unique combination of characters and symbols that helped to prevent counterfeiting and ensure authenticity. These features made the coin a reliable and trustworthy form of currency during that time period.
