1 Cash - Xianyong Tongbao

The Xianyong reign period (1065–1074) fell under Emperor Daozong, whose four-decade rule was the longest of any Liao emperor and was marked by increasing Sinicization of Khitan court culture — including the adoption of Chinese-style reign titles and the minting of cash coins in the Han tradition. The Liao had struck coins intermittently and never in quantities sufficient to dominate their own economy, relying heavily on Song Chinese copper cash captured, traded, or looted across the border.

Surviving Xianyong Tongbao are scarce relative to Song contemporaries, a direct consequence of limited mint output rather than heavy circulation loss.
