| Beschrijving voorzijde | Round cast iron coin with a central square perforation, displaying the four-character reign inscription 慶曆重寶 (Qingli Zhongbao) arranged in standard reading order — top, bottom, right, left — in regular script (kaishu). The boldly raised characters occupy the four quadrants of the obverse field, separated by the square central hole and framed by a raised inner rim and a wider outer rim. The coin exhibits heavy patination and surface corrosion consistent with iron coinage of the period, with the inscribed characters remaining legible despite encrustation. The casting style is characteristic of Northern Song provincial iron cash production, with slightly irregular rims typical of multi-piece clay mould technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Qingli reign of Emperor Renzong coincided with a prolonged military crisis on the northwestern frontier — sustained pressure from the Western Xia kingdom had drained the Song treasury badly enough that iron cash production was expanded as a direct fiscal response. Copper was increasingly diverted to weapons and strategic reserves, leaving iron as the workable substitute for everyday exchange in several circuits.
Hartill 16.129A specifically denotes the standard-script reading, distinguishing it from the seal-script variant struck concurrently. Iron Song cash from this period survives in fragmentary condition more often than not; the metal corrodes aggressively, and examples retaining legible rims on all four sides are genuinely uncommon.
