NORTHERN SONG: Jing Kang, 1126-1127, AE 2 cash (7.36g), H-16.507, Seal script, Fine, RR, ex Dr. Allan Pacela Collection. Emperor Qinzong was the ninth emperor of the Song Dynasty of China, and the last emperor of the Northern Song. The Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty invaded Kaifeng in January 1127 and captured the 26-year-old Qinzong, the Grand-Emperor Huizong, along with the entire Song imperial family including dozens of government officials in the Jingkang Incident, thus ending the Northern Song Dynasty. Qinzong, along with his father, was demoted to the rank of commoner on 20 March 1127, and on 13 May 1127, he was deported to faraway and bitter cold Northern Manchuria, where he was to spend the last 34 years of his life in confinement.

Estimate: 150-250 USD
