Old Bronze Emperors Coin Collection

A nice addition to your coin collection.

Set of 10 Chinese Coins representing Old Chinese Coin designs from the Qing Dynasty. These coins have been stamped and produced in the old way as the originals were done in Ancient China. Early square-holed round coins seem to be found exclusively in areas associated with knife money. They come in two distinct series, the relatively common "MING" types that appear to be related to the Ming knives, and the much scarcer "I" series which seem to represent the issues of a single mint called "I". The only inscriptions they have is their monetary designation of "HUO", a character which has come to mean "knife money", but which had also become a unit of denomination by the time these coins were issued
