2nd Century China Han Dynasty Bronze Cash Coin Franklin Mint Millennium

A beautiful piece of ancient Chinese history from the Han Dynasty, dating to the 2nd century.

This authentic ancient Chinese bronze cash coin is presented in the original Millennium Coin Collection holder and display card. The card identifies the piece as a 2nd Century Han Dynasty Bronze Cash coin and includes historical information about Han China and the development of Chinese coinage.

The coin itself has the unmistakable design of early Chinese cash money, with the characteristic square center hole. Its dark green and brown patina, uneven surfaces, and visible age give it a genuine antique appearance. The details are worn from centuries of age, but the overall shape and distinctive square-hole design remain clearly visible.

The Han Dynasty was one of the most important periods in Chinese history, lasting from 206 BC to AD 220. Bronze cash coins with a central square opening became one of the defining forms of Chinese coinage and continued to influence Chinese currency for many centuries.

This is a particularly interesting item for collectors of ancient Chinese coins, early Asian coinage, Han Dynasty history, or historical currency. It also makes a great addition to a collection focused on the development of money throughout world history.
