Description

Yuan Dynasty (Rebels). Xu Shouhui 3 Cash ND (1358) Certified 80 by Gong Bo Grading, Hartill-19.141. 33.2mm. 9gm. A difficult issue from the rebel leader showing original encrusted surfaces with clear devices. Xu Shouhui, set in Hubei, established his Tian Wan kingdom in 1351. He casted Tian Qi coins, a title later used again during the Ming Dynasty. Story tells the Board of Works mint of the Ming Dynasty once sent scores of old stock Tian Qi Cash with a puzzling antique appearance. The testing officials were lost trying to explain their origin, eventually realizing the title Tian Qi had existed once before.
