The Heng mintmark for Xining Mint is not known on 1 Cash pieces in Regular script, unlike all other scripts for this era, so it is possible Xining did not cast any coins of this script.DocXiVarieties
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the Northern Song dynasty, a time of great economic growth and cultural achievement in China. The coin's design features the Chinese character for "cash" or "money," which was a common motif on coins during this period. Additionally, the use of bronze as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice by the government to promote the use of a more durable and practical material for everyday transactions, as opposed to the more valuable but less practical gold and silver coins that were also in circulation at the time.
