I know some forum member posted an odd piece of metal they got in a lot of Chinese coins from onlylinda on ebay. I lost the thread, but found an attribution. Its bronze "model-cicada money." This one is the latest in date and most stylized. Of course, modern scholars don't believe this to be currency at all. Yuquan and Hartill consider it to be a funerary object. Ramsden, H. A. Model-Insect Money of China. (Japan: Numismatic & Philatelic Printers), page 15.
