When these were dicovered in the Song Dynasty, the Chinese numismatists were unable to decipher the inscription, so they named it BiQian, or &quot;ant money.&quot; The nose coin is the other, more-common variety most of you are familiar with. These are called ant-nose (technically &quot;ant-and-nose) coins as a collective because the two most common varieties were undecipherable and they looked like their respective names.[ATTACH=full]500860[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are all of the ant-nose coins in my collection. The first four are &quot;nose&quot; coins, while the next one in an &quot;ant&quot; coin. The next one is &quot;Jun&quot; or &quot;nobleman,&quot; and the last one is &quot;Xing,&quot; or &quot;crossroads.&quot;[ATTACH=full]500862[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
