Comment
In 1071, these coins were issued at 10 Cash to meet military expenses, but they were later de-valued to 3 Cash, then to 2 Cash in 1073. It is difficult to distinguish which coins were issued as 10, 3, or 2 Cash coins.DocXiVarieties
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the Northern Song dynasty, which was a time of great economic growth and cultural achievement in China. The coin's design features the Chinese character "zhong" (中) on one side, which means "central" or "middle," and the character "bao" (宝) on the other side, which means "treasure" or "precious." This design was used on many coins during this period and was meant to symbolize the central government's control over the economy and the value of the currency.
