Watch List notes:

China: Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE), coin-shaped charm with round central hole, obverse inscribed 'Hai tong dai shen xiao zhai mian nan' in regular script, reverse inscribed 'Tian bao ding er chang ming fu gui', 49.5x2.3mm, 54.3g. Note: The obverse inscriptions indicate that if "a child wears [it] on the body", this charm serves to "protect [the child] against adverse situations and disasters". It is extremely rare to find usage specifications for charms such as this one on a charm, or from any other source of information. The only other known example carrying such instructions can be found in a charm inscribed with Taoist incantations dating to the Song Dynasty. It is inscribed on the reverse "to be kept either at home or worn about the body and cited seven times every day". See No 115, Chinese Charms: Art, Religion and Folk Belief by Alex C. Fang (Commercial Press 2008). Extremely rare..

Estimate: 3000 - 7000
