Comment
In 1110, many tin-alloy mints were closed.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and scripts. The coin bears the inscription "Zhenghe Tongbao" in clerical script, which was a rare and ancient form of Chinese writing. Additionally, the coin features a crescent and dot symbol, which was a common motif in ancient Chinese coinage and is believed to represent the moon and the sun. The use of these symbols and scripts on the coin reflects the cultural and historical significance of the Empire of China during the time period in which it was minted.
