Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, who ruled from 1022 to 1063. This coin was part of a series of reforms that aimed to stabilize the economy and improve the circulation of currency. The use of bronze as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to wear and tear, as opposed to earlier coins made of other materials like paper or wood. This coin's design, featuring the characters "Zhihe" in Regular script, was also a departure from earlier coins that featured more intricate designs, and was intended to make the coin easier to produce and authenticate.
