<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 3298786, member: 75799&quot;]I love this thread.&nbsp; Chinese coinage has always been my favourite and primary theme. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER] you have a very good Xiao Jian specimen. And thanks for sharing a good write up on the Liu Song Emperor Xiao Wu.&nbsp; This period known as the Northern Southern Dynasties was a long period of disunity and have seen China divided for the longest time and the most significant influx of foreign influences particularly the foreign dynasties in the North.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Whilst I don&#039;t have the same coin,&nbsp; I do have one which belonged to his descendant, the mad Emperor Qian Fei Di (lit. The former desposed Emperor) Liu Ziye. </p><p>Issued in 465AD. Jing He small coin.&nbsp; Minted during the Jing He regal period of the Former deposed Emperor or Qian Feidi. Known for his extreme cruelty and immoral conduct, his reign lasted no more than a year before he was assassinated. During his short reign, he changed his regal period twice which was unprecedented in Chinese history and debased the coinage further with issues such as these. As the Jing He coin lasted no more than a few months. The extent of the Emperor&#039;s cruelty can Ben referred to in the following link <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_Deposed_Emperor_of_Liu_Song" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_Deposed_Emperor_of_Liu_Song" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Former_Deposed_Emperor_of_Liu_Song</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]873488[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
