| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast bronze cash coin of the Southern Tang Kingdom, displaying the four-character inscription 唐國通寶 (Tangguo Tongbao) arranged in clerical script (lishu) around a central square perforation, read top-to-bottom, right-to-left in the traditional manner. Each character occupies one quadrant of the coin's inner field, rendered in bold, angular strokes characteristic of the lishu style. A raised outer rim frames the composition, and the flat field between the characters and the rim shows the natural patina of cast bronze. The coin belongs to the variant distinguished by the presence of a dot mark, as catalogued by Hartill. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Southern Tang issued the Tangguo Tongbao in the final years of the reign of Li Jing, the second ruler of a kingdom that controlled the lower Yangtze valley but was by then paying annual tribute to the Later Zhou and, after 960, to the newly proclaimed Song dynasty. The "dot" variety — a small pellet in the reverse field — is a die distinction whose exact significance remains debated, whether as a mint control mark or an artifact of specific casting batches.
Li Jing died in 961, and his successor Li Yu would surrender the kingdom entirely to Song forces in 975.
