LATER ZHOU: Anonymous, 319-352, AE cash (3.72g), H-12.4, feng huo , Fine, R, ex Nicholas Rhodes Collection. The inscription feng huo literally means "The Coin of Abundance " and is written in seal script. They were cast by Emperor Shi Le in AD 319 at Xiangguo (now Xingtai in Hebei) with a weight of 4 zhu. They are known as the Cash of Riches - keeping one piece of this type was said to bring great wealth. However, the historical record states that the people were displeased, and that in the end the coin did not circulate.

Estimate: 140- 180 USD
