Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of scripts, with the obverse bearing the inscription "Zhihe Tongbao" in seal script, while the reverse features the same inscription in regular script. This blend of scripts is a distinct characteristic of coins produced during the Northern Song dynasty, of which this coin is an example.
