The image shows a dot above the square hole and a dot below, consistent with a two-dot variety. The reverse is otherwise uninscribed and the surface shows characteristic casting texture of Song dynasty cash coinage. |

The Songyuan Tongbao was the inaugural coinage of the Song dynasty, issued under Taizu following his seizure of power from the Later Zhou in 960. The dot variety — a small pellet positioned within the reverse field — is catalogued separately by Hartill precisely because such minor die distinctions were introduced deliberately or crept in through individual mint practice, and Song-era foundries were numerous enough that attribution to a specific casting site remains difficult. Taizu's reign saw an aggressive reassertion of centralized bronze cash production after decades of fragmented Five Dynasties issues.
