Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique form of Chinese characters known as "Li script with dot" (Li Shuang Xiaozhuan) which was used during the Southern Tang Kingdom period. This script style is characterized by the addition of a small dot above the characters, which was believed to bring good luck and prosperity. The use of this script on the coinage of the time was a way to express the kingdom's cultural and artistic identity, and it has become a distinctive feature of the Southern Tang Kingdom's currency.
