1 Wu Zhou - Shi Le Later Zhao, Xianggue, without rim

Shi Le founded the Later Zhao in 319, the first ruler of non-Han origin to establish an independent northern Chinese state — he was of Jie ethnicity, taken as a slave before rising through military ranks to seize control of much of northern China following the collapse of the Western Jin. The Xiangguo issues attributed to this period are among the earliest coinage of the Sixteen Kingdoms, a fractured interlude between Jin dynastic order and eventual reunification. The absence of a rim on this type is not damage but a production characteristic, distinguishing it from later Zhao issues and helping specialists sequence the series.
