A rubbing of a Chinese numismatic charm shaped like a Xin Dynasty period spade coin.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This is a Chinese numismatic spade charm based on a fairly modern design of Chinese numismatic charms produced from the early Republic of China period onwards. As Gary Ashkenazy (from Primaltrek) stated: "As best I can tell from reference books, your charm is actually fairly modern. Apparently, it first appeared during the early years of the Republic of China sometime after 1911. From your photos, I would say that your particular charm is a very recent copy of this older charm." The rubbing of the charm is based on the original Chinese design of the amulet. Although the actual national origin of this Chinese numismatic spade charm is disputed. As Gary Ashkenazy (from Primaltrek) stated: "One of my reference books says that this charm may actually be Japanese and not Chinese." which indicates that this particular design might be of Japanese origin. The design and look of this Chinese numismatic spade charm is similar to the Xin Dynasty coinage produced under the reign of Emperor Wang Mang. As Gary Ashkenazy (from Primaltrek) stated: "The charm has some interesting features. It has the same Chinese inscription “Huo Bu” as the original Wang Mang spade coin upon which it is based. It is much much bigger in size. Just above the Chinese characters is the seven star “Big Dipper”constellation.  There is a snake on the lower right foot and a “three -legged toad” on the left foot." A fair number of different Chinese symbols appear on this Chinese numismatic spade charm which contain hidden meanings. As Gary Ashkenazy (from Primaltrek) stated: "The reverse side has the sun (the dot) and moon (crescent) at the upper left. At the upper right are three stars connected by a line. This refers to the three “Star Gods”. The two “human figures” are unknown. On the right foot may be a heron or egret. I am not certain what symbol is on the left foot but I believe it is a tortoise exhaling an “auspicious cloud“." These symbols appear not just exclusively on this specimen of a Chinese numismatic spade charm, but also appears on many different other Chinese numismatic charms in various shapes and thematic categories.
Date Sometime after 1911.
