Jia Tai Tong Bao, 3 cash coin
			Reign title: Jia Tai, AD 1201-1204
			
			Weight: 8.8 grams; Size: 32 mm; Bronze
			
 
			
Reign title: CHIA-T'AI, AD 1201-1204
			
S-843. Bronze 3 cash. Obverse : CHAI T'AI TUNG PAO (read clockwise from the top). Reverse : blank.
			
S-852 is shown in Schjoth's illustration as a blank reverse, but in the text he notes it is a blurred reverse, indication something was there.
			
S-853 is an unusual coin. It has the "LI" mint mark at the top and the numbers 9 and 6 (or 96) at the bottom. Neither digit can be a date. This seems to be related to S-829-833 above although it is not over-sized as they were. We do not yet have an explanation this.
			
Emperor NING TSUNG
			AD 1195-1224
			
The coinage of Ning Tsung is by far the most interesting and diversified of the Sung Dynasties, and possibly any Chinese Emperor. During as 29 year reign he used 5 reign titles, issued prolifically in both bronze and iron, and made extensive use of mint and date marks. Schjoth lists about 180 different examples, which is by no means a complete listing of what must have existed.
