MING: Hong Zhi, 1488-1505, AE cash (4.79g), H-20.127, tai guan tong bao, crude Fine. During the Hongzhi period from 1488 until 1505 some Tribal Commissioners in the province of Guizhou issued their own cash coins, rather than being bases on reign titles the inscriptions were based on place names. This coin is part of a short series noted in Hartill as cast by the Guizhou province Tribal Commissioners, but the current majority opinion suggests that they are from Dali in Yunnan. Seven different inscriptional types are known so far.

Estimate: 75-100 USD
