WARRING STATES: State of Qin, AE cash (10.78g), H-7.6, 36mm, ban liang, light encrustation, VF. This coin type is traditionally associated with Qin Shi Huang Di, the first Chinese Emperor, who united China in 221 BC. The History of Han says: "When Qin united the world, it made two sorts of currency: that of yellow gold, which was called yi and was the currency of the higher class; and that of bronze, which was similar in quality to the coins of Zhou, but bore an inscription saying Half Ounce, and was equal in weight to its inscription."

Estimate: 125-175 USD
