Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the reign of Emperor Ying Zong of the Song Dynasty, who ruled from 1063 to 1067. This coin was part of a series of reforms that aimed to stabilize the economy and improve the currency system of the empire. The use of bronze as the material for the coin was a departure from the traditional use of iron and copper, and it marked a significant change in the production process and design of Chinese coins.
