China, Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Li Zong, 1225 - 1264 A.D.
|China|, |China,| |Southern| |Song| |Dynasty,| |Emperor| |Li| |Zong,| |1225| |-| |1264| |A.D.|, The government of the Southern Song was forced to establish a new capital city because of the Mongal invasions, at Lin'an (present day Hangzhou) which wasn't near any sources of copper so the quality of the coins produced under the Southern Song significantly deteriorated compared to the cast copper coins of the Northern Song dynasty. As the Mongols started to advance Southwards the last 3 emperors of the Song dynasty did not cast any coins as they had neither the time to set up any mints nor the resources to produce any cast coins.
