Comment
In 959, the minister Zhong Mo obtained permission to cast coins to raise funds for the army. In 964, the coins were withdrawn.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used during a time of great economic and cultural growth in the Southern Tang Kingdom, which was one of the Ten Kingdoms that emerged during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China. The kingdom was known for its advanced agriculture, thriving trade, and cultural achievements, and this coin was likely used in many transactions and exchanges during that time.
