Comment
These are distinguishable from Tang dynasty Kaiyuan Tongbao pieces by the broader rims and the characters being in low relief.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique crescent and dot design, which was a distinctive feature of the Southern Tang Kingdom's coinage during this period.
