China. Northen Song. Hui Zong (1101-1125). FE 3 units, Ta Guan tong bao (1107-1110). Hartill (Jap.) 16.424. 11.44 g. 33 mm. Good VF. Struck in iron, rather than the more traditional bronze, these coins reflect the shortage of copper during the Northern Song period. The combination of this utilitarian metal with Hui Zong’s refined “Slender Gold” calligraphy creates a striking contrast between practical necessity and imperial artistry.
