Comment

Because the first era name of Huizong was too long (Jianzhongjingguo), the dynastic title Shengsong was used instead. And because small Chongning coins are scarce (2nd era of Huizong, 1102-1106), it is likely these Shengsong coins were produced into the Chongning era as well.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Chinese calligraphy and imagery, with the inscription "Shengsong" written in seal script and accompanied by a stylized dragon motif. This design reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the Northern Song dynasty, which ruled China during the 11th century.
