Summary
[edit]DescriptionQing Qian Wan Xuan - Zhi Di Jin Sheng - John Ferguson.jpg |
English: Section 32.9: "Four character obverse, four character reverse: Nine strokes in first character of obverse".
55 mm Obv. Qing Qian Wan Xuan (Pin Yin) "Brass coin (chosen from) ten thousand (other coins)" ie. "coin of superior quality" or "made of superior brass" Rev. Zhi Di Jin Sheng (Pin Yin) Something like "Drop (this coin) to the ground (and you will) hear the sound of gold" Meaning: See below Ref.: Information supplied by Sergey N. Shevtsov. "Obv. is written in ancient "seal" style called "zhuan" or "zhuan shu" (officially used in ancient China ~ till 3 century A.D. but still has been widely used as art and decorative script). The meaning is not clear to me and though it's image I've found in one Chinese catalog, there was not any explanation or remarks about it. I guess that this coin is one of so called "experimental casting" coins, i.e. cast before mass production of common coins of the batch to study out the quality of the metals used and some specifications concerning casting. Rather scarce according to the Chinese catalog." - Sergey N. Shevtsov. |
