| Additional information |
Zhida Yuanbao was the reign title coinage of Külüg Khan, the Yuan dynasty emperor who ruled as Wuzong for just three years before dying in 1311 at thirty-one. His brief reign was marked by fiscal recklessness — he dramatically expanded the aristocracy, distributed enormous cash gifts to Mongol nobles, and ran the imperial treasury into serious deficit. Bronze cash issues under his name are consequently modest in variety and duration, produced across a narrow window before his successor Ayurbarwada reversed many of his monetary policies.
The Hartill 19.38 attribution places this among the regular-script issues, distinct from the seal-script variants struck concurrently.
