Comment
This crude type imitates the Kai Yuan Tong Bao of the Tang dynasty, replacing Yuan (元) with Da (大), meaning "big."Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of lead, which was a common material used for coinage during the Ten Kingdoms period in ancient China. Despite being made of a relatively soft and inexpensive material, the coin still features detailed engravings and calligraphy, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
