Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the Jingkang era of the Southern Song dynasty, which was a time of great economic growth and cultural achievement in China. The coin's design features a stylized seal script character for "yuanbao," which means "round treasure" or "round coin," and was used as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Additionally, the use of bronze in the coin's production was a significant departure from the traditional use of copper, and marked a turning point in the history of Chinese coinage.
