Comment
The calligraphy of the Xuanhe era is attributed to the Emperor.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 emperor's era name, "Xuanhe," in seal script on one side, and the denomination, "1 cash," on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during this time period and was made of bronze, which was a common material for coins in ancient China. Despite its small weight of 3.57 grams, this coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
