Comment
When Liu Bei took Chengdu in 214, he was advised to issue 'value one hundred' coins. These coins are attributed to him because of that, which also means they were cast before Shu became an independent state.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 100 Wu Zhou - Liu Bei (Shu) (214-221) from State of Shu (Three Kingdoms) made of Bronze is that it features an image of Liu Bei, a prominent warlord and statesman during the Three Kingdoms period, on one side, and an image of a phoenix on the other. The phoenix is a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture, and its inclusion on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea of a prosperous and fortunate reign under Liu Bei's leadership.
