Comment
Because the first era name of Huizong was too long (Jianzhongjingguo), the dynastic title Shengsong was used instead. And because small Chongning coins are scarce (2nd era of Huizong, 1102-1106), it is likely these Shengsong coins were produced into the Chongning era as well.DocBaoFeet

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "running script" style of calligraphy, which was used during the Northern Song dynasty. This style of calligraphy is characterized by its flowing, connected strokes, which give the characters a sense of movement and energy. The use of running script on this coin adds to its historical and cultural significance, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
