| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain reverse displaying a raised square rim surrounding the central square perforation, with a single raised dot visible above the square hole in the upper field. The broad, flat annular field between the square rim and the outer raised rim is devoid of any inscription or additional decoration, exhibiting a dark bronze patina with areas of earthen deposit consistent with excavated or long-circulated examples. The presence of the dot above the square hole is the defining variety characteristic noted in the Hartill catalogue reference 15.81. |

| 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.
