Beschrijving voorzijde Cast bronze cash coin of standard round form with a central square perforation. Four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central hole, reading top, right, bottom, left: 廣 (Guang), 通 (Tong), 政 (Zheng), 寶 (Bao). The characters are rendered in bold, slightly irregular raised relief, characteristic of mid-tenth-century casting from the Later Shu state. A plain raised inner rim frames the square hole, and a broader raised outer rim encircles the coin's periphery.

Aanvullende informatie

The Later Shu was one of the Ten Kingdoms that filled the vacuum left by the Tang collapse, controlling Sichuan's basin from Chengdu under two rulers: Wang Jiansi and Meng Chang. The Guangzheng reign title belongs to Meng Chang, who ruled 934–965 and proved a capable administrator of a prosperous, relatively isolated region. Sichuan's abundance of copper made local cash production practical when much of China was fragmenting into monetary chaos.

Hartill 15.75 is among the more frequently encountered Later Shu issues, owing to that regional copper supply.
