There are about 30,000 different Chinese coins including calligraphy
and mint variations, spanning over a period of 3,000 years. They
have many shapes and sizes. Since Han Dynasty, the coins are standardized
into bronze items with round shape with a square hole in the center,
and a rim at the edge.
Chinese coins are good reflection of Chinese history in the areas
of economic development, Chinese language and calligraphy, metallurgy
technology, and social styles. Therefore, Chinese coins can serve
many different interest groups. |
