Comment
The calligraphy of the Xuanhe era is attributed to the Emperor.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, who ruled from 1127 to 1162. The coin features the seal script characters "Xuanhe" on one side and the Chinese character "Yuanbao" on the other, which translates to "original treasure" or "genuine currency." This coin was used as a standard form of currency during this time period in China and was made of bronze, a common metal used for coins in ancient China.
