| Additional information |
The Su mint marks on this cash are unusual precisely because two separate mints — the Board of Revenue and Board of Works facilities both operating in Suzhou — used identical or near-identical marks during the Kangxi reign, creating attribution headaches that persist today. The 1668–1670 window is tight: both Suzhou mints were ordered closed by imperial decree in 1670 as part of a sweeping consolidation that shut down most provincial board mints, deeming the proliferation of local coinage wasteful and inconsistent.
