Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of scripts, with the obverse bearing the inscription "宋代贰贰钱" (Song Dynasty cash) in seal script, while the reverse features the character "寳" (bao) in regular script. This blend of scripts was used during the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127 CE) to differentiate the coinage from other currencies in circulation.
