English: Chinese collectors arranging issues of Kang Hsi 1 Cash coins into a famous poem written in the Chien Lung period.
"The following twenty coins (cast 1667) give on the reverse side the names of the mints, in Manchu and Chinese, and are arranged in a stanza of four pentameter lines, forming the rhyme after the rule of Chinese poetry: " [Schjøth] "The Chinese attach a talismanic virtue to the above coins. If genuine and placed together, they have the power of expelling evil influences and of preventing fires. Their genuineness according to popular belief can be tested by placing them, when strung together, on top of a chicken-coop: if genuine, they will prevent the cocks from crowing in the morning!" [Schjöth] Dynasty: Ch'ing (1644 - 1911 a.d.) Emperor: Sheng Tsu (1661-1722 a.d.) Reign Title: Kang Hsi (1661-1722 a.d.) |
