Tian Ce Fu Bao Coin(天策府宝)

popo11

Among the rarest of ancient Chinese coins is the tian ce fu bao (天策府宝) coin which was minted by Ma Yin (马殷) of the Kingdom of Chu (楚 907-951) during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Both bronze and iron specimens exist.

Ma Yin began minting these coins in the year 911 to commemorate his promotion to the rank of Supreme Commander of the Tiance Prefecture (天策上将军) as bestowed by Emperor Taizu of Later Liang (后梁太祖).

Both the bronze and iron coins have a nominal value of 10 which means they had a denomination equivalent to ten normal size bronze “cash” coins. Gilt tian ce fu bao coins tend to be slightly larger than the plain bronze coins and the iron coins.

The inscription is read in a clockwise fashion (xuan du 旋读) beginning with the top character.The characters are deeply cut in regular script (kai shu 楷书) and the coin is well-made.

Foreign collectors will be astonished by the high prices of Chinese cash coins because these coins are no gold or silver. But if someones are trying to feel these coins I think they will love them finally. These old pieces are so interesting and they are part of the history. Holding these cash coins in hand, I always wonder what their journals were like before they came to me. If coins can see or talk, they would have so much to tell you if you and they like each other. I think this is the fun of collecting these old coins.
Well, my wife doesn't agree with me at all

所见以上海博物馆民国老藏家捐献的品相最好，特别是鎏金的那两枚。
