Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern 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 counterfeiting, as opposed to earlier coins that were made of other materials like paper or shells.
