| Aversbeschreibung | Central square perforation surrounded by a plain inner rim and a raised outer rim, with four Chinese characters arranged in the four quadrants reading top, right, bottom, left in Clerical script (lishu): 崇寧重寶 (Chongning Zhongbao). The inscription references the Chongning reign era of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song dynasty. The fields are plain and unadorned, typical of privately cast cash coinage of the period. The coin displays a characteristic green patina consistent with bronze alloy and extended burial or circulation. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Chongning era (1102–1106) under Emperor Huizong was one of the most prolific periods for Chinese cash production, partly because Huizong himself was an accomplished calligrapher whose brush-written inscriptions were transferred directly onto coin dies — a vanity that created intense imperial interest in coinage aesthetics. That official attention did not prevent widespread private casting, which was technically illegal but practically uncontrollable given the chronic shortage of small denomination coin in the provinces.
Privately cast examples like this one typically show coarser workmanship than their official counterparts, with less crisp rims and variable metal quality reflecting the improvised nature of illicit production.
