Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of calligraphic styles. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Yuanfu" in seal script, while the reverse side features the denomination "2 Cash" in regular script. This blend of scripts was a common practice during the Northern Song dynasty, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
