Description

Chinese cash coins, like the one in the image, were the primary form of currency in China for over two millennia. These coins typically feature a square hole in the center, which allowed them to be strung together for easier handling. The inscriptions on the coin indicate the reign title of the emperor during whose reign the coin was minted. During the late Qing Dynasty (1(contact info removed)), China faced numerous economic challenges, including inflation and currency devaluation. Despite these challenges, the production of cash coins continued, albeit with varying degrees of quality and consistency. These coins serve as tangible reminders of China's rich monetary history and the economic conditions of the time.
