Description:
carefully made reproduction of the Chinese coin inscribed “Xi Wang Shang Gong” (The King of the West Reward for Meritorious Service), originally issued during the short-lived Great Xi Dynasty (1644–1647) under Zhang Xianzhong.
The original coin was struck in gold, silver, and copper versions, and served as a reward for distinguished service during the period of peasant uprisings at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Originals are extremely, making this reproduction a unique way to appreciate this fascinating piece of Chinese numismatic and historical heritage.
