Comment
Hartill says Su Shi designed some coins of Zhezong, but does not specify which era he designed coins for. Because Sima Guang would have designed the coins for the Yuanyou era, and because Su Shi was banished in 1094, it is likely Su Shi designed the coins for the Shaosheng era.DocBaoFeet
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Tibetan influences in its design. The use of the Seal script and the Yuanbao symbol on the coin reflects the cultural exchange and religious tolerance that existed during the Northern Song dynasty, which was a period of significant cultural and economic growth in China.
