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 mythical creature called the "Wu Zhou" on the other side. The Wu Zhou is a legendary creature that is said to have the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, and the antlers of a deer, and is believed to symbolize good fortune and prosperity. The coin's design is a reflection of the cultural and historical significance of the Three Kingdoms period in China, and the importance of Liu Bei and the State of Shu during that time.
