On that theme here is my latest acquisition to arrive. (Same coin - different lighting.) The I-Pi or 'Ant Nose' money originates from Ancient China and was used in the state of Ch'u; a southern province occupying areas running south to the Yangtze (Yellow) River.

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 11/04/2014 01:41 am Sorry, CM. I should have put that up in the text as well as the title. Yes. 8th Century to 3rd Century B.C. Well before European 'money'. Edited by Topcat7 11/04/2014 01:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
