Before briefly talking about a situation of coinage in the five generations, today I will talk about the situation of ten countries minting, of course, the ten countries are slightly more complicated than the five generations of coinage, so I will briefly summarize the history of ten countries minting.
The Ten Kingdoms are more extensive than the five generations of the region, the population is also larger, the economic conditions are better than the five generations in the north, in this we can see that in fact, the five generations and the ten countries It has a lot of time to overlap, the five generations are mainly in the north, the ten countries are biased towards the south, I also said before, at that time the economy of the south was obviously better than the north, so the north mainly depends on the economy of the south.
Speaking of the coins minted by the countries of the Ten Kingdoms are very complex, among which the currency system of the Southern Tang Dynasty is relatively stable, Liang Shu barely protects itself, and Chu uses material money to enrich the national strength, which we also mentioned before, the currency of Min Yan and the Southern Han Dynasty is the most chaotic, and we will talk about the history of coinage in these two dynasties in the follow-up.
The Yan kingdom is chaotic with miscellaneous coins to loot money, Wu Yue and the Northern Han dynasty have also minted coins, but relatively few, the Nanping Gaojia has no record of minting coins, speaking of the Ten Kingdoms, although the types of minted coins are very diverse and complex, but there are also regulations to study, and many of the coins in it are honorary products that we mentioned earlier.
