Dodatkowe informacje

Historical Context: Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty (9-23 AD) was an era of radical social and economic reforms, particularly in coinage. Issued between 9-14 AD, this coin is a product of his second major currency reform (10 AD). While numismatically identified as a "Huo Quan" (貨泉), valued at one cash, it operated within a complex monetary system that included higher denominations like the "Da Quan Er Shi" (大泉二十) valued at twenty cash.
