<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3141231, member: 78244"]So there are two different types of ant-noses with a “Jin” inscription. Interestingly, the Chu “Jin” is a little over twice as heavy as the Han “Jin”, which matches the exchange rates suggested above. However, the ant noses with the Chu “Jin” are way too heavy for 10 to be equal to one Dang Jin spade. Maybe this is just all a coincidence. Given the rarity of these types, it is possible that these were prototypes/presentation pieces as the monetary systems/standards were developing.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]803023[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]803024[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>8 different ant-nose varieties together for comparison and viewing pleasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]803025[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
