Comments
Hartill says Su Shi designed some coins of Zhezong, but does not specify which era he designed coins for. Because Sima Guang would have designed the coins for the Yuanyou era, and because Su Shi was banished in 1094, it is likely Su Shi designed the coins for the Shaosheng era.
Only trial strikes are known.
