WARRING STATES: Ba & Shu State, 300-225 BC, AE bridge money (7.66g), 110mm, "bridge money", with pointed tips, EF, ex Matthew Chang Collection. Though colloquially known as 'bridge money,' these bronze 'bridges' are formally known only as funerary objects designed to imitate the stone chimes of the bianqing. Bridge Money pieces have now been dated to circa 306-221 BC and are accepted by many - but not all - Chinese numismatists as actual coins of Ba and Shu States during the Warring States period.

Estimate: 75-100 USD
