Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was produced during the Qingyuan period (1197-1200) of the Southern Song dynasty, which was a time of great economic growth and cultural achievement in China. The coin's design and materials, such as the use of bronze and the 3 Cash denomination, reflect the economic and monetary systems of the time. Additionally, the coin's minting process and distribution were likely overseen by the government, making it an interesting example of the imperial administration's control over the economy.
