Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique crescent shape on one side, which is not commonly found on coins from the Western Xia Empire. This suggests that the coin may have been minted specifically for a particular occasion or event, or that it was intended to be used in a specific region or trade network. The crescent shape may also have symbolic or cultural significance, reflecting the religious or astrological beliefs of the time.
