CHINA - 10 Kingdoms: Former Shu KingdomCHINA - 10 Kingdoms: Former Shu Kingdom, AE Cash, OBV.: Guang Tian Yuan Bao/REV.: Plain. Minted in 918 A.D. by Wang Jian (907-918 A.D.). Hartill #15.38.
David Hartill's book quotes Schjoth, saying: "The currency of father and son of the Wang family was coarse and vile. Those seen at the present day are unfinished, sometimes with a smooth reverse; sometimes with a rim. Wang Jian began his career as a village thief; he enlisted as a soldier, rose through the ranks, and by 901 was virtually an independent ruler, with his capital at Chengdu, in Sichuan. His regime provided a peaceful haven for artists and poets."dpaul7

CHINA - Fake Song Dynasty!Xing Zhao Zhong Bao, 3 wen - Denomination: 3 wen - Metal: AE From ZENO: #1: Hua Huangpu, 3-vol edition, page 804. However, presented coin looks bad - calligraphy is wrong, and metal and patina color are similar to the modern production fakes. #2: This is one of three coins in this series. There is a similar piece with "Tang Wu" (value 5) on the reverse, and there is a smaller coin with the character "Pao" abbreviated on the obverse and with the cyclical date "Jen Shen" on the reverse. As far as I can determine, the small coin was first published in 1877 in the supplement to Ku Ch'uan Hui by Li Tso-hsien. The other two coins were first published in the 1920's or 1930's - making them a little suspicious. Ting Fu-pao's Encyclopedia (1938) shows the small dated coin, but quotes Cheng Chia-hsiang who mentions the other two coins. Another Value 3 is shown in Ku Ch'ien Hsin Tien (Guqian Xindian) [English title: New Illustrative Plates of Chinese Ancient Coins] by Chu Huo (Zhu Huo). published in 1991 and in Hua Kuang-p'u (Hua Guangpu) catalog of old Chinese coins (I have the 1999 edition). All of these Value 3 illustrations are of the same calligraphy, which is entirely different from the calligraphy of the coin shown here. The different references to these coins do not agree on the dating, attribution or even the reading of the inscription. Some read it Hsing Chao Chung Pao (Xingzhao Zhongbao) because this looks like a coin inscription -- even though this reading starts on the left, something never seen on Chinese coins. But most read it Chao Pao Chung Hsing, and this is how it is listed in Arthur Coole's index of cash coin inscriptions in Volume 1 of his Encyclopedia of Chinese Coins. Li Tso-hsien mentions a Chung Hsing reign title, but this was used in Annam from 1285 to 1293, and would require starting on the right and reading crosswise, then top to bottom. Most works date the coins to the end of the Sung dynasty, issued by loyalist generals. Zhu Huo, however, lists these coins under the Yuan dynasty and apparently believes they were made in the 1300's. The cyclical date on the small coin could be 1272 AD - near the end of the Sung dynasty - or 1332 during the Yuan dynasty. It could also be 1152 or 1212, but this seems less likely. What does the inscription mean? The top character, Chao, is the family name of the Sung emperors. Hsing means to raise up. I think the intention of the inscription is: "raise up (or restore) the Chao family (of emperors)". Grammatically it should read "Hsing Chao", but in printed works, any reference to the emperor must begin one line above the rest of the text, so the family name was put at the top. The only way I can think of using the other two characters is "chung pao", meaning simply "heavy currency". Pao could be an adjective for Chao ("precious Chao"), but then how does the "chung" fit in the inscription? So I think the correct reading is "Hsing Chao Chung Pao" or "Chao Hsing Chung Pao".

China - Southern Han DynastySouthern Han Kingdom, Wu Wu type, lead, c. 900-971 AD. 21.97 mm 2.0 g. Reference: Hartill 15.145. Ex Ardatirion collection.
Southern Han was a kingdom that existed during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period (907-960) along China’s southern coast from 917 to 971. The Kingdom greatly expanded her capital city Hing Wong Fu, namely present-day Guangzhou. The Five Dynasties ended in 960 when the Song Dynasty was founded to replace the Later Zhou Dynasty. Through the 960s and 970s, the Song increased its influence in the south until finally it was able to force the Southern Han dynasty to submit to its rule in 971. The coinage produced by the Southern Hans is quite unique - the main coinage was lead, with 1 lead cash fixed in value as 1/100th of a copper cash. The circulation of the lead coins was restricted to towns (even nowadays, these lead coins are found mainly in large towns, most commonly in Guangzhou) while the copper coins are found in the coutryside. Many types of these lead coins are known. The coins are all scarce to very rare, with most of them surviving in low quality because of the hot wet climate of the regions.

Nanjing fell to the Manchus in May 1645. The Prince fled but was captured by the Manchus and executed.

Schjöth 150-151 var., Hartill (2007) 9.33 var.Xin Dynasty. Wang Mang (7 23 A.D.)
1 cash (cast bonze), from 14 A.D., 23 mm.
Obv: Huo Quan (normal rims, no protruding stroke on the top of Quan, but middle stroke of Quan unbroken).
Rev: Blank.
Wang Mang was the regent for the last two infant emperors of the (western) Han Dynasty who usurped the thrown and founded the Xin Dynasty (meaning New Dynasty), of which he was the only emperor. He was a radical visionary reformer, but his reign resulted in chaos and rebellion.
In 14 A.D., upon the abolition of Wang Mang’s fiduciary coinage series known as “The Six Coins, ” the Huo Quan (= Wealth/Money Coin) was struck. This coin was a success, and continued to be struck until 40 A.D., during the period of the reestablishment of the (eastern) Han Dynasty. According to the chroniclers, Emperor Guangwu (25-57 A.D.) permitted the Huo Quan to remain in circulation, and continued to mint the coins at least until 40 A.D. because the character Quan consisted of the two component parts bai and shui which happened to be the name of the village of Bai Shui, in Henan, in which he was born.
Hartill (2007) rarity 15. This coin appears to be a variant in that the middle stroke of Quan is unbroken. Hartill (2007) lists a Huo Quan with this feature (Schjöth 161, Hartill 9.39), but that coin has a protruding stroke on the top of Quan and appears to have no or deficient inner rims.Stkp
