1 Cash - Qianyuan Zhongbao, with dot

The Qianyuan Zhongbao was introduced in 759 AD as the Tang court, under Emperor Suzong, scrambled to finance the suppression of the An Lushan Rebellion — one of the deadliest civil conflicts in human history, with population losses estimated in the tens of millions. Multiple denominations were issued simultaneously, creating immediate confusion and rampant devaluation. The "with dot" variety catalogued by Hartill as 14.119 is a minor positional variant, likely reflecting different casting workshops operating under the same emergency authorization rather than any deliberate policy distinction.
