Wang Mang's monetary reforms were among the most ambitious — and most despised — in Chinese history. The spade coinage of his fifth reform, introduced around 14 AD, was part of a deliberate archaism, reaching back to Zhou-dynasty spade money to legitimize the Xin dynasty's break from Han precedent. The peasantry largely ignored or hoarded the new issues, and private casting was punishable by enslavement of the counterfeiter's entire household.
Wang Mang's reign collapsed in 23 AD under famine, flooding of the Yellow River, and the Red Eyebrow rebellion. Han coinage was restored almost immediately.
