Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, who ruled from 1127 to 1162. The coin features the inscription "Xuanhe Tongbao" in clerical script, which was a new form of writing that was introduced during this period. The use of this script on coins was a significant change from the traditional seal script that had been used on coins previously, and it reflects the cultural and artistic developments that were taking place during this time in Chinese history.
