Today we talk about the Chu state in the Ten Kingdoms, when Ma Yin occupied Hunan, he established a small imperial court to fight against the old enemy Southern Tang, because at that time the Hunan region could be said to be very developed in trade and economy, so at that time the Chu state needed to mint a large number of coins to carry out a trade in goods.
At that time, the Chu state used the natural conditions of Hunan's abundant lead and iron metal to mint a large number of lead coins, iron coins and tin coins, of course, this coin was only circulated in China, because this coin was brought to other countries and no one accepted it, so the Chu side, that is, Ma Yin's side, had a very obvious feature.
That is, the regionalization of coins is very obvious, and we now find that this kind of coin also reflects the facts at that time, that is, the money minted by Ma Yin of the Chu State was only unearthed in or near Hunan, in fact, the Ma Yin Chu State at that time was also very prosperous, and at that time, the Tiance Fu Treasure was minted, and there were Qianfeng Quanbao big money and so on.
These are the ancient coin varieties that Quan friends are very familiar with, and I hope that everyone can have a certain understanding of the coins minted by the Chu State in the Ten Kingdoms through this article.
