Comment

The Type 1 and Type 2 Seal script coins have some major differences in the calligraphies of Xi and Ning.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Ying Zong of the Song Dynasty, who ruled from 1063 to 1067. This coin was part of a series of reforms that aimed to stabilize the economy and improve the circulation of currency. The use of bronze as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to wear and tear, as opposed to earlier coins made of other materials like paper or shells. Despite its small size and weight, this coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during its time.
