2 Cash Longfeng Tongbao

Zhu Yuanzhang struck the Longfeng Tongbao series during his years as a regional warlord operating under the Song restoration banner of Han Lin'er — before he had consolidated enough power to issue coinage in his own name. The "Longfeng" era title belonged to Han Lin'er's puppet regime, meaning this coin technically predates the Ming dynasty by over a decade and reflects a moment of deliberate political subordination Zhu later worked hard to erase from official histories.

The 2 Cash denomination is notably scarcer than the 1 Cash issues of this series. Hartill 19.131 is among the earlier-catalogued varieties of the type.
