1 Cash - Tangguo Tongbao, Clerical script, with dot

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.
