Comment
In 1102, 5 Cash coins were issued, and in the following year, 10 Cash coins were issued. In 1104, the 1 and 5 Cash pieces were abolished, leaving a sole reliance on the 10 Cash pieces, but those were deemed to be insufficient. In 1105, casting of the 10 Cash pieces was halted.Interesting fact
The 5 Cash coin from the Chongning (Zhongbao) era (1102-1104) was made of bronze, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique square hole in the center, which was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry the coin easily. This square hole feature is not seen in many other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
