NORTHERN ZHOU: Anonymous, 547-549, AE cash (3.23g), H-13.35, tai qing feng le, encrusted as normal, but with lovely crystallization from burial that sparkles in the light, crude VF, RRR, ex Nicholas Rhodes Collection. The inscription written in seal script translates as "Tai Qing, Prosperous and Happy " and is attributed to the Tai Qing period of Emperor Wu. A hoard was discovered in Jiangsu containing 4,000 tai qing feng le coins with various other sorts of coins showing that this is not an amulet as had been claimed by some authorities.

Estimate: 180- 220 USD
