Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of scripts, with the Tangguo (Tongbao) seal script on one side and the dot-shaped mintmark on the other. This blend of scripts is a distinct characteristic of coins from the Southern Tang Kingdom during this period, and it reflects the kingdom's cultural and artistic influences.
