Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Chinese and Tibetan influences in its design. The coin's inscriptions are written in both Chinese characters and the Tangut script, which was used by the Tibetan Empire. This reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Western Xia Empire's rule over the region.
