Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of scripts, with the Tangguo (Tongbao) characters in Clerical script and a dot at the top. This indicates that the coin was produced during a time of cultural and linguistic exchange between the Southern Tang Kingdom and other regions in China, and reflects the diverse influences that shaped the kingdom's currency.
