Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of scripts on its reverse side. The coin bears the inscription "Yuanbao" in the Running Script style, which was commonly used during the Northern Song dynasty, while the character "Heng" is written in the Regular Script style. This blend of scripts is known as "Heng-style Running Script" and is considered a distinctive feature of this coin.
