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 was produced during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who was known for his love of art and culture. As a result, the coin features intricate designs and calligraphy that reflect the artistic style of the time. Additionally, the use of bronze in the coin's production was a common practice during this period, as it was a durable and accessible material for coinage.
