CHINA. Warring States Period, ca. 475-221 B.C. State of Liang. Flat Handle Arch Footed Spade Money, ND (ca. 400-300 B.C.). VERY FINE.
Hartill-3.44; cf. Jen-17; FD-304. Weight: 11.33 gms. "Liang Zheng ___ ___ Dang Lie". Multiple interpretations have been proposed, mostly with the translations of the middle characters and what the proposed value of these pieces was. Interesting and deserving of further research. Overall, a pleasing example of the type with desert patina over hunter green.
Estimate: $200.00- $300.00
