Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique crescent shape on one side, which was a distinctive feature of coins issued during the Yuanfeng era (1078-1085) of the Northern Song Dynasty. This design was used to distinguish these coins from other currencies in circulation at the time.
