Comment
This type is much cruder than the original.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was privately cast, meaning it was not officially minted by the government but rather by a private individual or group. This was a common practice during the Song Dynasty, where the government would allow private citizens to cast their own coins to help meet the demand for currency. This privately cast coin is still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely accepted as a form of payment during its time.
