Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the Northern Song dynasty, a time of great economic growth and cultural achievement in China. The coin's design features the Chinese character "贝" (bèi), which means "money" or "currency," and is a testament to the coin's use as a medium of exchange during this period. Additionally, the use of bronze in the coin's production was a common practice during this time, as it was a durable and accessible material for coinage.
