Comment
In 1102, 5 Cash coins were issued, and in the following year, 10 Cash coins were issued. In 1104, the 1 and 5 Cash pieces were abolished, leaving a sole reliance on the 10 Cash pieces, but those were deemed to be insufficient. In 1105, casting of the 10 Cash pieces was halted.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a crescent shape on one side, which is a symbol of Islam, indicating that the Empire of China had trade and cultural exchange with Islamic countries during that time period.
