Auction: CSS92C - THE PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIC REFERENCE COLLECTION OF THE LATE DR. WERNER BURGER - Part 3: Chinese Charms
Lot: 2351

China: Liao-Jin Dynasty (916-1234 CE), coin-shaped charm with round central hole, obverse inscribed with 12 zodiacal signs and corresponding characters, reverse showing fairy god with attendant, tortoise and crane, 58.5*2.7mm, 46.2g, Zhong Qian Genuine, labelled as Qing Dynasty. Extremely rare with hanging loop. Charms dating from the Song period often have adapted variations with hanging loops. Such variations are often found in regions governed by the Liao and the Jin. Judging from this understanding, the current piece is dated to Liao-Jin period.


十二生肖圓穿花錢，背星官龜鶴，遼金（公元916–1234）時期，58.5*2.7mm，重46.2g，中乾真品，標籤清朝。此錢有掛環者極少。宋代花錢時見帶掛環之變體，多發現於遼地或金地。基於這一考慮，此處之品有可能為遼錢或金錢，而無掛環者或為宋錢。
