Thebes was the largest city of the ancient region of Boeotia. It was a major rival of ancient Athens, and sided with the Persians during the 480 BC invasion under Xerxes and Sparta during the Peloponnesian war (431-404 BC). In 404 BC, they had urged the complete destruction of Athens; yet, in 403 BC, they secretly supported the restoration of its democracy in order to find in it a counterpoise against Sparta. A few years later, influenced perhaps in part by Persian gold, they formed the nucleus of the league against Sparta. The result of the war was disastrous to Thebes, and by 382 BC a Spartan force was occupying its citadel. Three years later, the Spartan garrison was expelled and a democratic constitution was set up in place of the traditional oligarchy. In the consequent wars with Sparta, the Theban army, trained and led by Epaminondas and Pelopidas, proved itself formidable. Years of desultory fighting, in which Thebes established its control over all Boeotia, culminated in 371 BC in a remarkable victory over the Spartans at Leuctra. Nathan P

The Liao were a Tartar Dynasty known as the Ch'i-tan or Ki-tan Tartars, first established by T'ai Tsu in AD 907 during the period of the 5 dynasties. The dynasty lasted for 218 years until AD 1125, ruling from their capital at Beijing. For most of their existence they existed along side the Northern Sung Dynasty, in what appears to be somewhat less than peaceful co-existance.

Chinese Charm with coin inscription from Later Zhou Dynasty 951 - 960 A.D.Cast Bronze Chinese Charm, Weight 8.8g, Max diameter 26.8mm, Obv. 周 元通宝 zhou yuan tong bao "Zhou First Currency", Rev. Dragon on left, Warrior with sword on right (depicting "Zhou Chu killing the dragon"), Rich brown patina.
Background info courtsey Primaltrek.com
In addition to official coinage, China also has a long history of producing "coin-like" charms, amulets and talismans.
Coins, as a form of money, represent power. Coin-shaped charms are, therefore, a very compact form of power. They are filled with symbolism and are believed by the multitude of Chinese to have vast powers.
Cast throughout the centuries, these ancient charms, informally referred to by the Chinese as "ya sheng coins" (压胜钱), "flower coins" (huaqian 花钱) or "play coins" (wanqian 玩钱), were not used as money but rather to suppress evil spirits, bring "good luck", "good fortune" and to avert misfortune.
For the most part, all these old charms,...were privately cast and their quantities and dates are almost impossible to determine. Nevertheless, they serve as important cultural artifacts from the life of the common Chinese throughout the centuries.
Emperor Shizong did cast coins in earnest beginning in 955 AD, the second year of his Xiande (显德) reign, with the inscription zhou yuan tong bao (周 元通宝). To obtain the copper to make the coins, Emperor Shizong ordered the confiscation of bronze statues from 3,336 Buddhist temples. He also mandated that citizens turn in to the government all bronze utensils with the exception of bronze mirrors.
Zhou yuan tong bao coins are very well made and still exist in large quantities. Because the coins were made from Buddhist statues, they are considered to have special powers. For example, it was believed that the zhou yuan tong bao coin could cure malaria and help women going through a difficult labor.
Because of the common belief that the coin has special powers, the zhou yuan tong bao became very popular as the basis for charms and amulets. There are many charms with the inscription zhou yuan tong bao on the obverse and a dragon and phoenix on the reverse. Images of the Buddha, zodiac animals, and other auspicious objects can also be found on the reverse sides of zhou yuan tong bao charms.
The theme of this charm is "Zhou Chu killing the dragon".
A folk story about Zhou Chu appeared in the 430AD book "A New Account of the Tales of the World" and proved to be very popular. The story claims that Zhou Chu was such a hot-headed bully in his younger days that he was called one of the "Three Scourges" by the villagers in his hometown (in today's Yixing), along with a dragon and a tiger. Upon hearing the term, Zhou Chu went on to kill the tiger and the dragon. After he and the dragon disappeared for 3 days fighting in Lake Tai, the villagers celebrated wildly, just when Zhou Chu returned with the dragon's head. That was when he realized that he was the last scourge that the villagers feared. Determined to mend his old ways, he sought out Eastern Wu generals Lu Ji and Lu Yun, and received encouragement. Eventually he became an accomplished general beloved by his people~WikipediaSteve E

Seven mints cast coins in Fukyu-te (Fukyu script, or “in the manner of Fukyu”), which are named after a Nagasaki merchant who studied the series. The distinguishing characteristics are a prominent protruding 爪 tsume/claw at the bottom left of the 貝 kai component of 寶 ho, and a closed マ ma/head on 通 tsu. The head of the 永 ei is also drooping. On the Zeno website, the coins in the series are organized as “The five mints of Kanei Tsuho with the character EI inclined to the left,” although in many cases this inclination does not appear to be present.
There is only one known variety of Fukyu-te from the Fujisawa mint. Hartill notes that specialist works list many varieties of Fukyu-te (without reference to the number specifically from this mint). Hartill notes that the varieties of Fukyu-te are difficult to tell apart. This is an understatement. The coins cast by the different mints can often be distinguished principally by size and weight. The single variety variety from the Fujisawa has a distinctively styled マ ma/head on 通 tsu, the right leg of 寶 ho is longer than the left and the 永ei isnot centered.

Hartill notes that specialist works list many varieties of Fukyu-te (without reference to the number specifically from each mint) and that the varieties are difficult to tell apart. This is an understatement. The coins cast by the different mints can often be distinguished principally by size and weight, with those cast at the Fushimi mint having a diameter of 23.0-24.0 mm. and a weight of 1.9-2.8 g. By weight, this coin appears to be a Fushimi-sen, however on all coins cast at that mint the two inner horizontal strokes in the 目 me portion of the 見 ken component of 寛 kan are slight, whereas they are prominent on this coin. The coin is a Fushimite-sen (in the style of Fishimi-te). None are listed in Hartill or Jones. On this coin the ken component of kan has a prominent vertical stroke and the 永 ei is centered and lacks a distinctive hook on its right arm.Stkp

On the Zeno website, the coins in the series are orgamized as “The five mints of Kanei Tsuho with the character EI inclined to the left,” although in many cases this inclination does not appear to be present.
Hartill lists just two varieties of Fukyu-te from the Jumantsubo mint, and Jones lists one. Hartill notes that specialist works list many varieties of Fukyu-te (without reference to the number specifically from this mint). The paper, Guide for Identification of Cash Coin Kanei Tsuho with the Character EI Inclined to the Left, identifies three varieties. Hartill notes that the varieties of Fukyu-te are difficult to tell apart. This is an understatement. The coins cast by the different mints can often be distinguished principally by size and weight, with those cast at Jumantsubo having a diameter of about 24.0 mm. and a weight of about 2.8 g. On almost all those cast at Jumantsubo, the legs of 寶 ho are lower than the central hole.
This coin is the variety in which the legs of 寛 kan are high, the 永 ei is centered (退永 Taiei) but without a distinct hook of the right arm, and the crowns of kan and 寶 ho slant down at the left.

This series is known as Genbun-sen after the nengo (era name) in which it was cast. There are three varieties, but Hartill and Jones show just two. The characteristics are a tiger tail 寛 kan, pointed 通 tsu radical and hooked feet on 寶 ho. This is the variety with larger characters and just the left foot hooked, called taiji. Apparently due to a casting flaw, the hook and left leg of 永 ei curve downward at the tips, and the left foot of ho also curves downward at the tip after first hooking upward.

Although there are fifteen varieties, of which ten circulated, Hartill only lists four and Jones three. This is the variety primarily described as ç´°å—背元 saiji hai gen (roughly “fine print å…ƒ gen on reverse”), and secondarily described asæ¹¾æ›²å† å¯¶ wankyoku kanmuri ho (curved crown of 寶 ho) and çŸä¸€å…ƒ Tanichigen (short first stroke of gen). Although not described as such in the Japanese sources, it is described by Hartill and Jones as having a crown of 寶 ho that slants up from the left. Jones adds that the first horizontal stroke of gen is short. This coin is smaller than indicated for the variety by Ogawa.
The å…ƒ gen character refers to the Gembun era, at the end of which (1740 = Genbun 5) the order to cast these cash was given. 200,000 strings a year were cast.
