Starożytne Chiny, Dynastia Han Brązowy Naszyjnik z monetą gotówkową (Bez ceny minimalnej )
A fine restrung necklace with five Ancient Chinese bronze cash coins, dating from the Han Dynasty. The coins are of typical form, consisting of a circular surface featuring a square piercing at the centre which enables them to be strung together. The collection of coins consists of five Huo Quan (货泉). Encrustations and patination to coin surfaces. Chips to one of the coins.
Huo Quan coins were produced in the fourth currency reform (AD 14) of the Xin Dynasty (AD 9-23). Xin Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty between Western Han (206 BC – AD 9) and Eastern Han (AD 25–220) Dynasties, established and ruled by Wang Mang (王莽) (circa 45 BC – AD 23). Some historians traditionally view Wang as a usurper, while others portray him as a visionary and selfless social reformer. Though he sought to implement the harmonious society in the classics, his efforts ignored social complexities and ended in chaos. One of his most criticised policies is the four currency reforms, causing disastrous economic outcomes.

22.5cm half length when folded
1.9-2.3cm diameter of Huo Quan coins
Provenance: Abelita Family Collection 1970-90's.
