Comment
These coin tallies (or Qian Pai) were produced due to lack of circulating coins, used as a form of emergency money.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Song Dynasty in China, specifically in the He Prefecture. The coin was made of bronze and had a unique design, featuring a square hole in the center and a rim with a geometric pattern. The coin was also known as a "cash" coin, which was a common denomination during that time period. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation today, and they are highly sought after by collectors.
