Comment
There is uncertainty about the attribution of this type. Originally, it was said to be a Vietnamese issue, which matched light size and weight; however, that attribution was within a list of uncertain types. Based on spot-finds, which all correspond to Liao territories, the leading opinion is that these are issues of the Liao dynasty.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Cash - Zhuangguo (Yuanbao) ND (916-1120) from Liao dynasty (Tatar dynasties) made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized dragon, which is a common motif in Chinese mythology, while the reverse side features a Mongolian-style horse, reflecting the influence of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of northern China during the Liao dynasty period. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place during this time period.
