| Beschrijving voorzijde | Round cast iron cash coin with a central square hole, bearing a four-character reign title inscription in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform reading order around the central perforation. The characters 嘉定正寶 (Jiading Zhengbao) are distributed one per cardinal position, reading top-bottom and right-left respectively. The characters are rendered in a bold, slightly worn regular script with raised strokes against a flat field. A raised outer rim and inner rim surrounding the square hole frame the inscription. The coin shows green and brown patination consistent with aged iron, typical of Southern Song period Sichuan mint production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Jiading reign (1208–1224) was one of the most financially strained periods of the Southern Song, with the dynasty hemorrhaging resources fighting the Jin to the north while simultaneously debasing its currency through mass iron cash production. Iron coinage of this era was essentially an emergency measure — copper was too scarce and too strategically valuable to mint in volume. Jiading-era iron cash circulated at a fraction of their face value in practice, fueling persistent monetary instability in the Yangtze delta markets.
The three-cash denomination in iron was particularly short-lived as a trusted medium. Merchants routinely discounted iron multiples against copper singles.
