Comment
It was considered improper to include two identical ideograms on coins, so in the Baoqing era (1225-1227), orders were given to cast coins with the dynastic title Dasong.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Cash - Dasong (Yuanbao; iron) ND (1225-1227) from Empire of China made of Iron is that it was used as a form of currency during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) in China. The coin was made of iron because the government wanted to promote the use of iron currency instead of the traditional cowry shells, which were previously used as currency. The use of iron coins helped to stimulate the economy and increase trade during this time period.
