A Chinese numismatic charm modeled after a coin issued during the reign of Emperor Taizong (太宗 939-997 AD) of the Northern Song Dynasty. The inscription on the coin was taiping tongbao (太平通宝) which translates as “Currency of the Great Peace”.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: There is also a second inscription on this old Chinese numismatic charm. The two (2) Traditional Chinese characters at the left and right sides of the rim are jixiang (吉祥) which means “good fortune” in the English language.

On the reverse side of the charm are the two Chinese characters ruyi (如意), located at the top and bottom rim, which translate as “as you wish”.

These four (4) Traditional Chinese characters thus comprise the popular Mandophone expression jixiang ruyi meaning “good fortune according to your wishes”.

If you look closely, you will notice that this charm has a “double rim” (重轮) because in addition to the broad outer rim there is also a thin circular rim surrounding the four character inscription. This is very unusual for a charm.

It is even more unusual for a Chinese numismatic charm to have an inscription in a recessed area of the amulet's rim, as this one does. It is even rare for a Chinese cash coin to display an inscription in a recessed area of the rim as only very few ever had.
Date 1644-1912.
