Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of calligraphic styles. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the inscription "天下税" (Tianxia Shu) in Seal script, while the reverse (back) side features the character "文" (Wen) in Regular script. This blend of scripts was a common practice during the Ten Kingdoms period, reflecting the cultural diversity and artistic innovation of that time.
