Lot description:


SHU-HAN: Anonymous, 221-265, AE cash (6.59g), H-11.19, tai ping bai qian ("Taiping One Hundred Cash'), stars and waves pattern on reverse, Fine. The Tai Ping Bai Qian coin was at first attributed to Sun Liang of Eastern Wu, who adopted a Tai Ping year title in 256. Most of them, however, have been unearthed in Sichuan (in one instance in a tomb dated to 227) together with Zhi Bai coins, which, together with the incuse marks on the reverse, indicates that they are issues of Shu Han. The fancy calligraphy and reverses of the large coins are more typical of amulets than circulating coins.

Estimate: 200-300 USD

Starting price: 170 USD
