WARRING STATES: State of Zhou, 400-300 BC, AE spade money (17.81g), H-2.163, sloping-shoulder hollow handle spade, an zang (or cong) in archaic script, VF. Sloping shoulder spades usually have a sloping shoulder with the two outside lines on the obverse and reverse at an angle. The central line is often missing. This type is generally smaller than the prototype or square shoulder spades. Their inscriptions are clearer and usually consist of two characters. They are associated with the Kingdom of Zhou and the Henan area. Their smaller size indicates that they are later in date than square shoulder spades.

Estimate: 1,500-2,000 USD
