Comment
The original name of the Southern Tang dynasty was the "Qi dynasty", with these coins said to have been cast before the name change. While Hartill says only two examples are known, with one missing(lack a quarter. Dai Xi戴熙 got it and first wrote it in his book 《古泉丛话》(a Talk of Ancient Coinage ). He suicided in lake and hided the coin in garden earth. People have looked for many times and failed.) and one undisplayed(having used as shuttlecock, so having four perforations. Dai Baoting戴葆庭 sold this one to Zhang Shuxun张叔驯, and Zhang rub and photoed it and sold it to Dai Jitao戴吉涛. And now the coin belongs to Tai.J.T Foundation with unknown condition).Both rubbings are recorded in Dai Baoting's Rubbing Collection《珍泉集拓》.
