Comment
The calligraphy of the Xuanhe era is attributed to the Emperor.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Xuanhe Tongbao coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold. The use of iron was likely a result of a shortage of other metals, and it gave the coin a distinctive dark gray color. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the Xuanhe Tongbao coin was still widely used and highly valued during its time.
