[QUOTE="Marshall Muzili, post: 2405638, member: 78292"]In the late 90s there had been a discovery in Sichuan, China. A ceremonial mound later named San Xing Dui (tri-star mound). Among the relics dug up at San Xing Dui were 2 bronze "trees" lavishly decorated with coins in the form posted above. [IMG]http://img9.ph.126.net/Fzj32gwoZMhhVdT0M4sexg==/1553178921506670769.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://blog.cctv.com/attachments/simg/201203/28/7419808df3aa90944d6912218e086dc6.jpg[/IMG] The ceremonial mound had started before 1800 B.C and had been abandoned before 800 B.C. 6 or 7 years ago, There had been another site found 100km from San Xing Dui, inside Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province. This site belonged to the same culture (people) that had inhabited San Xing Dui. It contained many more organic objects, however, such as wooden artifacts and elephant tusks, and carbon dating had confirmed the dates previously established for San Xing Dui. I visited San Xing Dui (there's a museum built on the site now) a few years ago, and if I haven't remembered wrong, the coin trees were said to had been creation of (east) Zhou dynasty. That also meant circulation of this type of bronze coins would had to have started at least few hundred years before the warring states. By the way, I'm an ancient coin collector from China, albeit I don't collect Chinese coins. I collect Roman Denars.[/QUOTE]
