Message Hallo James, What you show us is chinese money. It is a so called knife-coin. They were made around 500/300 BC. probely made for ceremonial purposes.The earliest examples had pointed ends. This one (hollow end)lookes like a later one(CHI-knife?). If original (I am not able to tell but maybe others can) this "coin" is about 2300 years old. regards, Arjan Post a Response |
