This coin was minted during the Zhiyuan era (AD 1264-AD 1294) of Kublai Khan’s reign. There are six different versions of this coin, including small coins (xiaoping) and larger coins (zhe’er and zhesan), which feature either Chinese or Phagspa script. Kublai Khan eventually conquered the Southern Song dynasty in AD 1279 and established the Yuan dynasty.
