Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Southern Tang Kingdom and other regions, including the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. This is evident in the coin's design, which features a mix of Chinese and non-Chinese elements, such as the use of both Chinese characters and Tibetan script. This blending of cultures is a testament to the rich history and diversity of the Ten Kingdoms period.
