Auction: CSS92C - THE PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIC REFERENCE COLLECTION OF THE LATE DR. WERNER BURGER - Part 3: Chinese Charms
Lot: 2573

China: Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE), coin-shaped charm with square central hole, Guizhou mint production, obverse inscribed 'Yu nan cheng xiang', reverse showing five poisonous animals 28.3*1.4mm, 5.5g, Zhong Qian 80. Broad rim, close to the Changping type, extremely rare. Note: This example is special in that while the reverse shows the five poisonous animals, like many others, it additionally shows a human figure holding a sword to the right of the central hole. This is thusfar a unique design of the same motif and therefore of high retention and reference value.
