Northern Song Dynasty. Emperor Qin Zong (1126-27) "Jing Kang Tong Bao" 2 Cash ND Certified 78 by HuaXia, 29.9mm, 7.4g, Hartill-16.519, Jen-305, FD-1135, Sch-Unl. (see 670 for Iron Cash). An extremely elusive one-year type whose short mintage was punctuated by the "Jing Kang Incident"--a military confrontation during the Jin-Song Wars between the Jurchen-led Jin Dynasty and the Han Chinese-led Song Dynasty, that ended with the seizure of the northern capital of Bianjiang and the Emperor Qin Zong in 1127. Representing the final coinage of the Northern Song Dynasty, this beautifully crisp piece, with sandy-colored patina and stark characters written in Orthodox script, is a true Gem certain to fill a hole in any serious collection of Chinese cash. A Choice rarity sure to excite spirited bidding.
