Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "running script" style of calligraphy, which was used during the Northern Song dynasty. This style of calligraphy is characterized by its flowing, connected strokes, which give the characters a sense of movement and energy. The use of running script on this coin adds to its historical and cultural significance, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
