Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and scripts. The coin bears the inscription "Taihe" in Regular script, which was a common script used during the Song dynasty, but it also features a crescent and dot symbol, which is a motif often associated with Islamic culture. This blending of cultural influences reflects the multicultural nature of the Great Jin dynasty, which was established by the Jurchen people but also included people from other ethnic groups, such as the Han Chinese and Mongols.
