<p>[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4598663, member: 98035"]The only example other than the Buo Quan I can think of offhand are the Kangxi Tongbao coins - Kangxi ruled for 61 years from 1661-1722, the longest reign of any non-legendary emperor in Chinese history. His grandson Qianlong would have broken this record, but respectfully abdicated before he would have set the record himself. I'm not sure if I would call it "religious" but people believed (and some still do) that finding a Kangxi coin was auspicious and lucky, especially since Kangxi translates as roughly "Health and Prosperity".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
