Xin Mang. 7-23 AD, AE "Di Bu Ba Bai" Spade Money (9.2 g, 56.5 X 24.9 mm). The denomination is 800 Cash. Beautiful cinnabar and green patina with a touch of mercury colors. Very important and rare. Extremely Fine.
One of the ten types of spades issued during Wang Mang's third currency reform. These ten types of spades were assigned ten different denominations from 100 cash to 1,000 cash. One would never be able to figure out the denomination of his coin without being able to read, which was actually a rare ability in the 1st century. These coins confused Wang Mang's people as much as they do to modern collectors. Estimate Value $7,500 - UP
