Comments
Huangsong is not actually an era name, but rather a dynastic title. At the time, the era name was Baoyuan (1039-1040); however, they went with Huangsong to avoid the repeation of 'Bao' (Bao Yuan Tong Bao), which would be considered stylistically incorrect.
While the Baoyuan era lasted only a year, these coins are very common, and no regular-sized coins are known from the next three eras (Kangding, Qingli, and Huangyou), meaning these coins were likely produced throught all four of these eras.
