| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central square perforation surrounded by a plain inner rim and a flat annular field bearing four Chinese characters arranged in the traditional reading order — top, bottom, right, left — rendered in the elegant Slender Gold (Shoujin) calligraphic style attributed to Emperor Huizong himself. The legend 宣和通寳 (Xuanhe Tongbao) occupies the four cardinal positions around the central hole, with each character finely cast in the characteristic thin, elongated brushstroke style of the imperial script. The outer rim is raised and plain, framing the composition. The heavily oxidised iron flan displays a dark, russet-brown patina consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Xuanhe Tongbao in Slender Gold script was written by Emperor Huizong himself — the calligraphy is his personal style, developed into one of the most distinctive hands in Chinese history. Huizong was, by most accounts, a far more accomplished artist than administrator. His reign ended in catastrophe when Jurchen Jin forces sacked Kaifeng in 1127, capturing both Huizong and his son Qinzong in what the Chinese called the Jingkang Incident. The iron fabric of this piece reflects Song-dynasty metal shortages that pushed peripheral mints toward base-metal production in the reign's final years.
