Comments
While bronze coins were first issued for the war in 1071, Schjoth makes no mention of iron issues, and Hartill lists the date-range starting at 1068 for these pieces (possibly because they are Tongbaos rather than Zhongbaos). With these examples also being slightly larger than the average war piece, these could be issues before the war.
With Xihe Mint mentioned to have cast iron 2 Cash pieces in 1075, it is likely these followed the same conditions as the bronze pieces (de-valued to 2 Cash in 1073).
