Taizong of the Northern Song dynasty had an identical era name from 976 to 984 (1st era). These coins are distinguishable by the composition: the Northern Song coins are made of bronze whereas these are made of brass.Interesting fact

The Small Sword Society was a group of dynastic rebels who sought to overthrow the ruling Qing dynasty and establish a new government. The coin was minted during the Taiping Rebellion, a civil war that lasted from 1850 to 1864 and was marked by widespread violence and social upheaval. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained a stable form of currency and was widely used throughout China.
