Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 03/09/2013 11:45 pm Interesting coin, I didn't know who he was, had to look it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Shi_Huang I knew of the Terracotta Army and now know who it was they were made for. Nice Marti. He is a very notable historical figure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 1:16 pm Cool piece of history! It's pretty amazing how long this style of coin was in use. Imagine if Republican denarii were struck into the 19th Century? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 1:55 pm Chinese civilization has been around for five thousand years, and it's believe by some that their coinage predates that of the west. Because of the plain appearance of it's coinage they are mostly overlooked by collectors. It's when you put the period when the coin was cast and what was going on historically at that time the coin takes on a better appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
