Aanvullende informatie

The Wu Zhu ("five grain") denomination had been the backbone of Han coinage for nearly four centuries before Liu Bei's Shu state revived it — not as continuity, but as a political claim. By casting Wu Zhus in Sichuan after seizing Yi Province in 214, Liu Bei was asserting legitimate succession to the Han dynasty at a moment when Cao Cao controlled the emperor and the northern mints. The coinage was a declaration as much as a currency.

Shu Wu Zhus are typically light and crudely cast relative to Eastern Han issues, a reflection of the limited bronze resources available in the Sichuan basin.
