| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast round cash coin with a central square hole, bearing the four-character inscription 開元通寶 (Kaiyuan Tongbao) arranged in clerical script reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left around the central perforation. The characters are boldly rendered within the coin's inner rim, set against a plain, undecorated field. The outer rim is raised and relatively broad, typical of late Five Dynasties period cast coinage. The overall fabric shows characteristic lead casting with slight surface porosity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Min Kingdom, one of the Ten Kingdoms that fragmented China following the Tang collapse, issued lead cash during its final death spasm — the state was consumed by internecine violence and was effectively destroyed by the Southern Tang in 945. Lead coinage of this period was an emergency measure, the copper supply having been exhausted or disrupted by the relentless internal warfare that characterized Min's last years. Hartill 15.54 is among the more obscure survivals of a polity that lasted barely half a century.
