Interesting fact
The Jingkang (Tongbao; Clerical script; iron) coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty in China, specifically between 1126 and 1127. It was made of iron, which was a common material for coins at that time, and it had a unique square hole in the center, which was a distinct feature of coins from this period. The coin was used as a standard circulation coin and was valued at 1 cash, which was a significant denomination at the time. It's interesting to note that the Jingkang coin was issued during a time of great economic and cultural growth in China, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period. The coin's unique design and material also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
