Comment
This example is extra thick, meaning it was likely a sample coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Chinese and Tibetan influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Xuxing" in Chinese characters, while the reverse side features a Tibetan-style dot symbol, known as a "yuanbao," which was used to signify the coin's denomination. This blending of cultural elements reflects the diverse cultural influences present in the Western Liao dynasty during its time.
