1 Cash - Pingjing Shengbao, Qian Ying

Issued by the Guangdong Triad Society during the Red Turban Rebellion — a regional uprising that erupted alongside, but distinct from, the Taiping movement — this cash piece served the short-lived insurgent administration that briefly seized Guangzhou's surrounding territories in 1854 before being suppressed with considerable violence. The Pingjing Shengbao inscription identifies it as a rebel emission, not a state coinage, making it among the more unusual brass cash types catalogued from mid-nineteenth century southern China.
