<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 766925, member: 9204&quot;]So, if I haven&#039;t yet, I think its time I fess up and admit that I collect Chinese coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> These were all given to me by a friend over the summer, and I only just got around to scanning them. I&#039;ve only done 17 of the 50&nbsp; or so total. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&amp;cat=-2049" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&amp;cat=-2049" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&amp;cat=-2049</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is probably my favorite:</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/wuzhu1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p style="text-align: center">Western Han Dynasty</p> <p style="text-align: center">Wu Zhu type under Han Wudi, 115-113 BC</p> <p style="text-align: center">Hartill&nbsp; 8.9; Thierry 3</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Han Wudi campaigned heavily against the Xiongnu barbarians. In order to gain a fresh supply of horses for the empire (previously the barbarians themselves supplied them!), Wudi fought his way west to open trade with the desert oasis of Ferghana, noted for its horses.&nbsp; In the process he stretched the borders of China to the largest they would be before the Qing Dynasty. </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>Can any of the other Chinese collectors here comment on the accuracy of Thierry&#039;s <i>La Chronologie des Wu Zhu</i>? It seems like it almost goes into too much detail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
