Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique crescent shape on one side, which was a distinctive feature of coins issued by the Southern Tang Kingdom during this period. This design element was used to distinguish their coins from those of other kingdoms and to symbolize the kingdom's connection to the moon and the natural world.
