CHINA. State of Chu. "Yuan Jin" Gold Cube Money, ND (ca. 475-221 B.C.). Warring States Period. Graded "65" by Hua Xia Coin Grading Company.
History of Chinese Currency-pg. 7, #1; Hartill-5.1. 4.3 gms. Inscribed "Ying Yuan". Made in what is now Hubei province, it was cut from larger bars which allowed for the making of small denominations. A much smaller (perhaps fractional?) example of this enigmatic issue, bright with a reasonably complete stamp considering the overall size.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
